IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has shared that the biggest USP of his team in the back-to-back wins in IPL 2021 is their confidence and fearlessness. On Wednesday, they first outclassed Mumbai Indians and then achieved a seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals to all but seal a top-four spot.
While explaining about recovering from two defeats, Kohli said, "We have gotten the rewards because we have been confident and fearless. That’s been the USP of our team in the last two games. Through the middle overs, our bowling has been amazing. With the bat as well, we have been getting good opening starts which gives a lot of balance to the team."
Further, he added, "That’s been the focus with Dev (Devdutt Padikkal) and myself - to get good starts. Everything is coming along nicely and people are making contributions at the right time. We were blown away completely in game one, we took it as a positive. You need to be up with the pace of the tournament. We are getting into the groove at the right stage of the tournament."
Additionally, Kohli said, "With the kind of bowling attack that we have, we need a couple of breakthroughs and things will open up. We knew if we held to our patience, we’ll get mistakes from the batsmen and that’s what happened but they were forced mistakes."
