IPL 2023: “The Phenomenal Drive to Excel and Keep Raising The Bar is a Hallmark of Virat Kohli”- Sanjay Bangar

IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore’s star batter Virat Kohli has been in sublime form in the IPL 2023 and has scored runs against all opponents. RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar applauded Virat Kohli’s desire to excel. He also admired his hunger to keep improving despite achieving success in all the formats of the game.

The RCB batter has already scored a couple of half-centuries in the IPL 2023 after playing just 3 games. He played a brilliant knock of 82 runs off just 59 deliveries against the Mumbai Indians. Furthermore, he played a 44-ball 61 against KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants.

People asked RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar about Virat Kohli’s approach ahead of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s next game against Delhi Capitals. Sanjay Bangar opines that Virat Kohli’s desire to keep improving sets him apart from other international cricketers.

“He is somebody who is constantly excelling in whatever he does. The phenomenal drive to excel and keep raising the bar is a hallmark of Virat Kohli and the way he’s approached his cricket. So, obviously, he has conquered some challenging phases in Test and one-day cricket,” Sanjay Bangar said about Kohli’s approach.

IPL 2023: Virat Kohli is a formidable player in any format of the game: Sanjay Bangar

“He has shown that when he wants to play T20 cricket in a particular fashion, he can easily do it. So, he is a formidable player in any format of the game. I think he’s continued to excel and raise the bar which I think is a great thing for RCB,” the RCB Head Coach discussed Virat Kohli’s T20 game.

It’s worth noting that Kohli’s form is critical to the RCB franchise’s fortunes in the IPL 2023. Moreover, along with Faf du Plessis, Virat has formed a formidable opening combination for Royal Challengers Bangalore and has got enough success since the previous edition of the Indian Premier League.

Virat Kohli is the highest run-getter in the IPL history with 6788 runs in 226 matches at an average of 36.74 and a strike rate of 129.6. With the kind of form Virat Kohli has shown in the past few months and the first few games of IPL 2023, the RCB franchise will hope Virat Kohli to win games single-handedly from them.
