After clinching his second title in two years, Kohli took centre stage and talked about how the entire RCB side is brimming with talent and how the side is full of match-winners who can take the game away from the opposition on their own.ย

We have so many MOTM awards spread throughout. You look at world-class bowling like Hazlewood, Duffy, Bhuvi, Krunal Pandya, you can bank on him as good as ever,โ Kohli said after the game.ย
โI feel so happy to play in a group where we have balance and strength, and we are an all-around strong team and that is why we have the confidence that we have right now,โ he added.
