Virat Kohli led Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a dismal show in the Eliminator where they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets and with this, they hope to win their maiden IPL title has gone too. However, the captain admitted it was a poor batting show which cost them the game. RCB managed to put up 131, which SRH chased down convincingly with six wickets in hand.

"If you talk about the first innings I don't think we had enough runs on the board. We made one helluva game in the second half, the positions we got ourselves into in the second half. But it is a game of margins and if Kane was taken there then it is a different ball game. Altogether they put us under a lot of pressure in the first innings. Few soft dismissals, few fortunate ones for them as well," Kohli said at the post-match presentation.

"We just didn't have enough runs on the board in my opinion. Maybe a bit of nerves, bit of hesitation. We had to be more expressive with the bat. We didn't have any phases where we got away from the opposition. We allowed bowlers to bowl where they wanted to. Didn't put them under enough pressure. We hit a few balls straight to the fielders in the last 3-4 games. It's been a strange phase of 4-5 games for us. Tonight just didn't have enough," he further added.

However, there were a few positives too where the captain applauded the young talent Devdutt Padikkal, who scored more than 400 runs in his debut season in IPL. Even he also praised the pacer – Mohammed Siraj.

"Couple of people stood up - Devdutt, Siraj had a good comeback. Yuzi and AB have been solid as ever," he said. "Couple of good positives, and Devdutt is one of them. Getting 400+ runs in your first edition is never easy and Devdutt has done that with class and efficiency. Others contributed, but maybe just not enough in the end."
