It was only the beginning of what will be a spectacular display as RCB will take on five-time titleholders, Chennai Super Kings on March 22 at the M A Chidambaram International Cricket Stadium in Chennai.
Starry-eyed Kohli declared that the current IPL season may be the first time he lifts the trophy for RCB when addressing the audience regarding his intentions for the championship.
Kohli said, “We were watching as they picked it up,” he said in reference to the Women’s win during the tournament (WPL). “Let’s see if we can do a dual celebration. That would be awesome no?, to be truthful.”
Kohli declared his readiness to take the challenge and guide RCB to victory with his expertise and skills, making the dreams of millions of supporters and the organization possible.
