RCB vs RR Highlights: Kohli will win us our upcoming games, reckons RCB coach Sanjay Bangar after defeat against RR
Royal Challengers Bangalore coach Sanjay Bangar has backed batting stalwart Virat Kohli to crush rough patch and put in match-winning performances in the next match.
Chasing a 145-run target, Bangalore’s top-order failed again as they lost the four wickets for 58 runs and failed to recover from that.
Talking about Kohli’s rough patch, the Bangar said that Kohli will help the team win their upcoming crunch games.
Kohli was dismissed on just 9 runs while attempting a pull shot but he managed to get an edge and got caught.
The batter has been going through a very rough patch this season with just 128 runs in just 9 matches.
“He is a very sensible player. He has watched many ups and downs… The way he prepares, he always gets himself out of his comfort zone and this is his speciality.
And this is the reason he can overcome difficult situations,” said Sanjay Bangar in a post-match press conference.
