Decided to bowl first. No brainer. Evening game at Chinnaswamy, we’ve chased well here. It was unexpected but nothing I’m not used to (stand-in captaincy). It’s been fun so far because of the way the team has been playing. Faf will be playing the impact role again. Hopefully he’ll be back leading from the next game. Looks like a great pitch, the usual Chinnaswamy pitch that we expect,” Kohli said at the toss.
Kohli has been in excellent form in this year’s IPL. The right-handed batter has been in the top 5 list for the most runs in the competition. So far Kohli has amassed 279 runs in just 8 outings. He averages 46.50 with his strike rate well above 140 mark. He has stroked 25 fours and 11 maximums so fat. The senior batter will look to play another magical knock in front of the home crowd against KKR.
