There is nothing favorable for RCB in this session. He defeated Delhi Capitals in the previous match, which was his sixth consecutive defeat. Kohli, who has been the leading cricketer for the third consecutive year in Wisden Elamaink, hopes Kohli can repeat that performance in the IPL.

In the last match against Delhi, Kohli did not survive the 41-ball 33 and Moeen Ali's 32-ball 18 in 18 balls. Kohli said after the match, 'We have to take advantage of the opportunities.' Can not make excuses everyday. We could not play well on the day of the match and this is our story in this session. "
