IPL 2019: If India are smart they should rest Virat Kohli for the World Cup, says Michael Vaughan

It's time that India skipper Virat Kohli, enduring a winless streak in the ongoing IPL, is rested till the World Cup says former England skipper Michael Vaughan.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is the only team to not have won a single contest this season. They have lost six straight matches and need a miracle to make it to the knockout stage.

Vaughan feels giving Kohli some time off before the big event will be a good decision.

"If India are smart they rest @imVkohli now for the World Cup Give him some time off before the big event #IPL2019," Vaughan wrote on his twitter handle.

If India are smart they rest @imVkohli now for the World Cup ... Give him some time off before the big event ... #IPL2019

RCB needs to win all their remaining eight matches to salvage any hope of making it to the Play-offs.

India will open their World Cup campaign against South Africa on June 5.
