"Considering all factors, really happy it came along nicely" - Virat Kohli
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Virat Kohli opened up about his indifferent batting form over the past few matches in IPL 2023. Kohli revealed that he has been hitting well in the nets all along and was just trying to replicate the same in matches.
Kohli said:
"I've had a few quiet games but I've been hitting it well in the nets. So, I've been searching for a way to channel that in the middle. Considering all factors, really happy it came along nicely. I was telling the boys, the way I'm looked at as an IPL is different, even when I've played some impactful knocks. I don't give myself credit for that sometimes. I don't care what anyone says on the outside."
He added:
"Hyderabad got a really good score and the ball was gripping in the middle as well. We got a great start, we wanted that but we didn't expect we'll get 172 together. Faf deserves credit for that too, he has been on a different level."
RCB will next face Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final match of the league phase on Sunday, May 21, in Bangalore.
