Virat Kohli Says MI vs RCB is Always an Exciting Game

It is that time of the year again when 2 of India’s megastars will come face to face against each other to win important 2 points for their team. Virat Kohli and his team will take on 5-time champions Rohit Sharma and his team. Every year MI vs RCB fixture is one of the most awaited matches of the competition. Fans as well as players of both the teams are pumped up to give the best that they can.

Ahead of the MI vs RCB clash, former captain Virat Kohli opened up on his excitement about the match. With a problematic middle-order batting line-up, once again there will be extra pressure on Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell to score runs. Kedar Jadhav who was called as the replacement for Willey will also have to make use of his experience to help the side. The upcoming match in Mumbai against Mumbai Indians will be RCB’s third away match. They won in Lucknow but fell to the last-place Delhi Capitals (DC) in Delhi.

It is always an exciting game: Virat Kohli

In a season where the qualification spots are still very much up for grabs and no team has been ruled out of contention, the upcoming MI vs RCB game is important for both the teams. “We love playing in Mumbai. I think it suits our style of play as well, and it does for Mumbai Indians as well. So, it is always an exciting game. Always a game that is competitive and something that you certainly look forward to because we have played some really good cricket this season. A couple of results did not go our way, which made us realize as a team the things that we need to do. Just a good opportunity to push on from here on the road,” Virat Kohli said.

Despite Virat Kohli scoring runs this season, his strike-rate has been the talk of the town. Apart from a couple of games at the start, Virat Kohli has struggled to pace his innings, especially against spin. This has proven to be costly on certain occasions. He has the lowest strike rate of 135.16 amongst the other batters in the orange cap list. Therefore, in order to win the RCB vs MI fixture, the batter will have to keep looking for boundaries and keep up the strike-rate.
