IPL 2021: Virat Kohli says, 'Need to Nurture Talent like Umran Malik'

In Abu Dhabi, Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off a thrilling win over RCB in the IPL 2021. The game in the final over has led RCB a leading score of 13 runs off the six balls. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a superb over to give away just 9 runs off it. To this loss, RCB skipper Virat Kohli reacted by saying T20 is a game of fine margins. He said that losing Glenn Maxwell was the turning point of the match. 

Virat said, "Having lost a couple of early wickets, rebuilding was key. Maxi’s run-out was the game-changing moment. With AB you are never out of the game, but it is about making sure that the guy who’s in flow should be on strike. Not as effective when chasing that down. Shahbaz played a crucial knock at that stage, it is a game of small margins, I think Sunrisers held their nerve and bowled their last few deliveries pretty well to not allow us to get away."  

Further, he added, "This tournament throws up talent every year, good to see a guy bowling at 150 clicks. It is important to know the progress of individuals going forward. Whenever you see talent like this, you need to nurture them. Little hiccup in the journey but we will carry on with the same momentum."
