Virat Kohli elated after RCB register ‘unbelievable’ win over DC: We have overwhelmed them twice this season

2 min read

After registering a seven-wicket win over table-toppers Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli stated that pulling off a chase will give his staff a special type of confidence going into the IPL 2021 playoffs.

A final-ball six by KS Bharat helped Royal Challengers Bangalore register a seven-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in an exciting end to their Indian Premier League match. Bharat performed a match-winning knock of 78 runs whereas Glenn Maxwell raced away to 51 in 33 deliveries as RCB chased down the 165-run goal in Dubai.Kohli identified that RCB had nothing to lose and regardless of dropping early wickets, his staff managed to finish the season double over the table-toppers DC on Friday.”Unbelievable. It was a game we had nothing to lose but still to lose early wickets and do well against a team at the top of the table is good,” Virat Kohli, the successful captain, stated within the post-match presentation ceremony.”We’ve beaten them twice this season. We knew bowlers had the potential to keep things under control. The way AB and KS first batted was good.Kohli was full of praise for Bharat and Maxwell who stitched a match-winning 111-run fourth-wicket partnership to give RCB a rather unexpected win over Delhi Capitals, who finished on top of the league standings despite the loss in the final game.”And then the partnership between Maxi and KS was superb. We knew the truth of getting second was a 163-run win, so we selected to subject first. Pulling off a chase offers you a special type of confidence going right into a playoff.”And we haven’t chased much in the tournament, so it’s also important to do well batting second. You should be able to pull out anything you need on the day of the game. No. 3 hasn’t been an issue at all,” Kohli added.”We wanted to give Christian some time with the bat. He batted very well in the nets, but that’s how T20 cricket goes. We took that chance. It didn’t come off, but we had no issues.”Bharat has given some good knocks and we knew he can step in at No. 3, bat effectively in opposition to spin too. I positively suppose we must be sharper within the subject. We have to take the 50-50 alternatives in our method.”Those runs are crucial in big games. When it comes to the playoffs, no team will give you a second chance,” Kohli signed off.
