Virat Kohli on regaining form with a knock against GT. RCB won the run chase thanks to Kohli’s 73 off 54.
The latest IPL 2022 match between RCB and GT saw star batter Virat Kohli return to form with a match-winning 73 off 54. When the batter and his team were in need of two crucial points, the batter’s knock proved to be very special. After winning the season’s first Player of the Match award, Kohli discussed how he dealt with his rough patch throughout the season, as well as how he sweated out 90 minutes in nets before the game.
The former RCB captain stated that he was disappointed that he was unable to contribute much to his team this season because that is what bothers him, not stats in particular. Kohli and Faf du Plessis (44 off 38) laid a solid foundation for RCB to build on in an easy run chase before Glenn Maxwell added the finishing touch with his 40* off 18.
“I’ll keep going. It was a crucial game. What bothers me is that I haven’t done much for my team, not the stats. Today was a game in which I was able to make a difference for the team. This places us in a good position. There are expectations because of your previous performances. You must maintain proper perspective. In order to meet expectations, you may forget about the process. I’ve put in a lot of effort. I batted in the nets for 90 minutes yesterday. “I came in very free and relaxed,” Kohli said during the post-match press conference.

The 33-year-old also stated that he is extremely grateful for the fans’ support during his difficult times. Kohli admitted that he has never received such overwhelming support as he has this season. Kohli’s brilliant innings propelled RCB to an eight-wicket victory.
“I’m not going to stand here being ungrateful for everything I’ve accomplished.” I felt I could hit length balls over the fielder’s head with my first shot off Shami. I knew tonight was the night I could let loose. It’s been fantastic to have so much support in this edition. “I will be eternally grateful to all the love I have never seen before,” he added.
