TIL Desk/Sports/With their big-hitting batsmen back in the mix, Royal Challengers Bangalore would prefer chasing targets says skipper Virat Kohli, who himself is set to play his first IPL game of the season against Mumbai Indians. A shoulder injury sustained during the Australia Test series ruled Kohli out of the first two games while AB Devilliers and Chris Gayle played a game each as RCB opted to set target in the first two games.
“Now with me coming back and all specialist batsmen playing, the thinking might change back again. Bangalore has generally been a ground where you can chase down high totals and tomorrow being a day game obviously that really matters a lot because under the lights the wicket is better during the day time,” Kohli said ahead of clash against Mumbai Indians.
The captain emphasized on winning the away games to go deep in the tournament. “We know we play good cricket at home but last year we won really some good matches away from home and that is why we reached the final, so in order to do that, that is the most important thing factor in IPL, we need to win away games. That is something that we will stay in focus for us through the season if we want to make it to play-offs.” Kohli hinted that he may play both De Villiers and Gayle and have Kedar Jadhav keep wickets.
