XtraTime Web Desk: Virat Kohli, the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore is focused to win their maiden IPL trophy. The captain took to social media to share few photos from the training and captioned it with ‘Focus’ with an eye and a bull’s-eye emoji. In the picture it was seen that Kohli is down on one knee, holding the pose after playing one of his trademark cover drives. In another picture, he was diving for a catch to his right.
Team RCB is preparing hard and is ready for this year’s IPL. The entire tournament had to shift from India to UAE this year because of the number of coronavirus cases in India. However, the 13th edition of the cash-rich league is all set to bring a lot of cricket and a lot of entertainment for all the fans across the globe.
The right-handed batsman has said that he feels this is the most balanced the Bangalore-based team has been since the 2016 season, when they made it to the final, only to lose to SunRisers Hyderabad.
RCB are yet to win their maiden IPL title, despite boasting of stars like Kohli and AB de Villiers and having thrice made it to the final.
De Villiers has also spoken with optimism about how this year feels different, and credited Kohli for the team’s work ethic.
“We have worked so hard, we have a good work ethic, it really feels like everyone has bought into this hard-working environment. The credit needs to go to Virat, he sets the example and leads from the front. It is pretty easy to follow when you have a captain who is always leading from the front,” de Villiers said.
While the IPL gets underway on September 19, with defending champions Mumbai Indians taking on Chennai Super Kings in the tournament opener, RCB will play their first match on September 21 against SunRisers Hyderabad.
