Virat Kohli was overjoyed when his Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) secured a playoff berth by defeating the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six runs in Sharjah.
After the Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals, the Royal Challengers became the third team to qualify for the playoffs. Virat Kohli has intimated that they will play more fearless cricket in the next two games and that they believe they can finish in the top two.
“(It) feels amazing. After 2011, we haven’t done it with games to spare. Eight wins out of 12 games is a great campaign. We have two more opportunities to finish in the top two. Should give us the motivation to play even more fearlessly.” Kohli said

After the Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals, the Royal Challengers became the third team to qualify for the playoffs. Virat Kohli has intimated that they will play more fearless cricket in the next two games and that they believe they can finish in the top two.
Despite KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal setting the Punjab Kings off to a great start, the RCB pulled off a spectacular turnaround to win the match. The show’s headliner, Yuzvendra Chahal, returned with 3/29, with George Garton, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Harshal Patel contributing usefully.
Virat Kohli praised his bowlers and hoped they would carry up the good work in the run-up to the playoffs.
“The resurgence of Siraj, ever since he has done well in Test cricket. Harshal’s inclusion has been outstanding. Yuzi has chipped in, as has Shahbaz. Garton has come in. If the players don’t step up, then the campaign goes off track,” he concluded.
