We need to move on now and focus on our next match – Virat Kohli
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737, the hard-hitting batsman of Royal Challengers Bangalore, has urged his side not to take the six-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings to heart and has asked them to focus on their next match.
“We need to move on now and focus on our next match," said Kohli while talking to the media reporters on the sidelines of a promotional campaign in Mumbai.
However, the 22-year-old right-handed batsman from Delhi also expressed disappointment over his side’s defeat against the defending champions in the playoff-qualifier, especially after he had made a key contribution in propelling his side to a daunting total.
"It was disappointing to be on the losing side especially when you have put in efforts while batting when your team wanted the most,” said the Delhi-born.
Kohli played a herculean unbeaten knock of 70 runs to steer the RCB to an intimidating 175 run total at the Wankhede Stadium in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 last night. His whirlwind cameo was laced with five muscular boundaries and three lofty sixes.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 compiling a tally of 1,954 runs, said that he is always willing to take responsibility and this attitude towards game has helped him get more maturity.
"I have always tried to take more responsibility, It helps you get matured,” said the top-order batsman, who has become a vital cog in the Indian batting line-up over a small period of time.
The Delhi http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Briggs-c67453 conceded that it was quite tough for them to accept the defeat after batting so well. Kohli rued the poor bowling in the last few overs of Chennai’s chase.
"We have bowled well in the depth. This was one match where we didn't do well....You have a one-off day in T20 cricket and you can't bowl consistently all the time."
