Royal Challengers Bengaluru ke star batter Virat Kohli ek baar phir headlines mein hain — aur is baar reason hai unka determination RCB ka Wankhede curse todne ka. IPL 2025 ke clash mein Mumbai Indians ke khilaf match ke dauraan, Kohli ne diya ek strong message:
“Hopefully we break the jinx today,”
unhone kaha mid-innings chat mein.
RCB ki Wankhede mein Mumbai Indians ke against jeet ki talaash 2015 se jaari hai, lekin Kohli lag rahe the kaafi hopeful. Unhone recent Chennai Super Kings ke khilaf Chepauk mein jeet ka zikr kiya, jise unhone ek motivational moment banaya apni team ke liye. Kohli ki 42-ball 67 ki powerful innings ne RCB ko ek commanding position mein la diya, jahan unhone post kiya 221/5 ka total.
Phil Salt ke jaldi out hone ke baad team ne kaise situation handle ki, is par Kohli ne kaha:
“That was pretty good. After losing a wicket on the second ball, we countered pretty nicely. Dev played a brilliant impact knock for us… That partnership was really important… I tried to innovate a bit, tried to play different shots off spin as well… You need to keep evolving your game.”
Kohli ne aur bhi insights diye team ke mindset aur pitch ke behavior ko lekar. Rajat Patidar ki praise karte hue, unhone bataya kaise ek spinner out-of-play ho gaya tha, jiska advantage unhone lift kiya:
“When Salty goes early, one of the guys has to make an impact… What Rajat did is what Rajat does… That gave us 20-25 runs. The wicket wasn’t as straightforward.”
Lekin baat sirf team strategy tak hi simit nahi rahi — Kohli ne ek aur personal milestone bhi achieve kiya. Wo ban gaye pehle Indian batter jinhone 13,000 T20 runs complete kiye, aur sirf duniya ke 5th batter hain jinhone yeh achievement hasil ki hai. Unki yeh innings unki second fifty thi is IPL season ki, aur fans toh already celebration mode mein aa gaye hain!
Toh kya iss baar RCB sach mein MI ke khilaaf apna bad luck tod payegi? Kohli ki form aur confidence dekh ke lagta toh hai — kuch toh badalne wala hai!
