“What he needs to do is to have a look at Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo. Two similar brands in their different teams and their sports. You have Virat Kohli right at the top of cricket, his brand is right at the top of cricket. Cristiano Ronaldo is right at the top of football. One plays for Manchester United, and one plays for RCB and India. Those are big brands and they are going to be talking points. Those big brands also want to maintain their status in the game by winning,” Pietersen said on Star Sports.

IPL 2022: Kohli shines with the bat in hand but RCB falters against GT

  • It was the RCB batter’s first fifty of the ongoing season and came after three consecutive single-digit scores
  • The former RCB captain timed the ball beautifully and anchored the innings well

IPL 2022: Pietersen believes Kohli would have been happy if his fifty had come on a winning cause

Elaborating further, Pietersen believes that considering Kohli has a ruthless and winning mentality, he would be angry that his knock went in a losing cause.

“Virat Kohli’s greatest attribute, how many games he has won for India while chasing. Virat Kohli is my greatest batter in this country because he has won so many games for India chasing. That is something you look at, that is something he cherishes and is so proud of. This knock yesterday, he would be looking and thinking some beautiful shots, absolutely fantastic shots and I felt good. But I know he is a champion, he is a winner and I know that he would be fuming that those weren’t enough for the win,” he further stated.
