Kohli Lauds Krunal Pandya’s Performance

“It was a top win, especially looking at the surface. We saw a few games here and this wicket played out differently compared to those. Whenever there’s a chase on, I keep checking with the dugout, whether we’re on course, what is my role, what kind of innings I need to play. We were under pressure, 3 for 25-26 and then me and Krunal getting a century partnership. He was outstanding today with the bat, he can make that impact and we were just waiting for him to come into this tournament with the bat as well. And today was his day completely and he was absolutely brilliant. (On how he approaches chases) I look at the total on the board, the conditions, the bowlers who are due to bowl, who are the bowlers who are going to be hard to get away.”

Virat Kohli On His Gameplay

“I try and make sure my singles and doubles don’t stop and then you keep getting the odd boundary in between, so the game doesn’t get stagnant. That’s always been my focus, keep working on rotating the strike. People are forgetting the importance of partnerships or going deep into the innings in T20s and this year your’e seeing that you can’t just come out and tee off from ball one. You need to have professionalism to read the situation and try and get into a position where you can start dominating the bowlers. It won’t come easy on a slow pitch if you don’t know how to rotate the strike. So that’s pretty much my method.”

Virat Kohli Speaks On RCB’s Team Effort

“We’ve communicated beautifully, Krunal kept telling me to stay while he took his chances. We have the extra power in Tim David, there’s Jitesh as well. That firepower at the back end of the innings definitely helps you. And now Romario as well. Hazlewood and Bhuvi are world class bowlers, there’s a reason why Josh as the Purple Cap. Krunal was outstanding the way he varied his pace. Suyash has been the dark horse for us, even if he doesn’t have the wickets. Our spinners keep attacking in the middle overs.”
