A superb all-round performance from Royal Challengers Bangalore helped them to register a huge win against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday and captain Virat Kohli revealed that the clarity in planning and positive mindset helped them to do well in the game.
“Preparation was really good. Three week camp helped us. Have clarity of plans. Know exactly what we want to do on the field. All depends on the mindset. It's very positive,” Kohli said.
While they have always faced issues in the bowling, it has immensely improved in this season and the captain applauded his bowling unit as well.
“The bowling unit, with Chris Morris coming in, looks all the more potent. Very happy about that. If your bowling unit is strong, you have a great chance of going deep in the tournament.”
Howveer, their win came on the back of a stunning show from AB de Villiers and Kohli – who was at the other end in Sharjah, praised the knock too. The former South Africa player smashed 73 off 33 deliveries in the game.
“(AB) Was unbelievable. I thought I had a few balls under my belt so I'll start striking. But he came in and hit his third ball nicely. On a pitch like that, only AB can do that. It was a special knock. We got 195 purely because of the genius of that man. Barring one super-human, everyone struggled on that pitch,” he concluded.
With this win, they are placed at the third position in the points table with 10 points with the net run rate -0.116. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians (+1.327) and Delhi Capitals (+1.038) also have 10 points and they are placed before RCB as well.
