“I’ve never been a guy who tries so many fancy shots, because we have to play 12 months of the year. For me, it’s not [about] playing fancy shots and throwing my wicket away. We’ve got Test cricket after the IPL, so I’ve got to stay true to my technique and find ways to win games for my team, something that I take a lot of pride in, and when I can make an impact in an important game, obviously that gives me confidence, gives the team confidence, and it just helps the team overall, which is something that I look to do,” Virat Kohli reportedly said yesterday.

With 14 points from 13 matches, Bangalore currently find themselves in the fourth spot in the IPL 2023 standings. In their last league game of the season, they will be up against defending champions Gujarat Titans on Sunday.
