Virat Kohli played out of his skin as he got his form back in the Indian Premier League and guided Royal Challengers Bangalore to a 37-run victory over Chennai Super Kings on Saturday night. Talking about his team’s performance, Kohli said ‘it was one of their most complete performances’.

“It was one of our most complete performances. We got into a bit of a tricky position in the first half. From there on, we pushed forward. We spoke during the second timeout (with the bat) that 140-150 would be good. Ended up getting more than that. It was a tricky pitch. Really pleased to get two points,” Kohli said in the post-match presentation.

“We have back-to-back games coming up, so important to build momentum. It’s about understanding the conditions and respecting the game. Having played so much cricket, especially T20 cricket, I have learnt that if you are set at the death, you can capitalise,” the captain added.

When asked whether the Super Over against Mumbai Indians helped him open up, Kohli said, “Before that, I was trying to do too much. If you think too much about responsibility, you get burdened. That Super Over where I had to strike, else we would have lost, freed me up,” Kohli further added.

Kohli, lauding his bowlers, said, “Training all these days also helped. Yes, he’s (Morris) been really good, gun on the field and three wickets on debut. With him and Gurkeerat, the batting also gets deep. When you get momentum in this format, it can be the difference between finishing at the top or at the bottom.
