Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB, RCB) batting badly in the eliminator match of IPL 2020, due to which the team suffered a 6-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. No RCB batsman could play ahead of the Hyderabad bowlers. Captain Virat Kohli (Virat kohli) came into the match with Devdat Padiqkal in the opening and he had Aaron Finch batting at number three. Former Indian team batsman Sachin Tendulkar has expressed surprise at Kohli’s decision to open. 

Sachin Tendulkar said in his YouTube channel, ‘Holder’s opening spell was amazing and I was surprised to see Virat opening. This was a different strategy, which did not go away. Virat looked positive, but when Holder was bowling him, he was trying to cut the line. He was trying to cover the out swing of the holder, going towards the bowler and shortening the distance so that the swing could cut, but the holder was getting more bounce than the rest of the bowlers due to the length. And that was the trick, Virat got beat by bounce.
