"Virat Kohli’s single-minded focus in that match. If you have been following Virat Kohli, you’ll know that Virat hardly ever bats long on two back-to-back days ahead of a game".
That’s exactly what Kohli did at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday and Thursday, getting practice bowlers to simulate the CSK spinners R Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, and Ravindra Jadeja.
While it is a slightly spin-friendly pitch, the pressure will be squarely on Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar to deal with the warning. RCB mentor Karthik suggests that Virat Kohli is absolutely determined to turn things around. While Kohli is the pillar for RCB, there’s something clinical about Rajat's game that should give RCB confidence.
CSK, too, know there are the crucial wickets they need on a spin-friendly pitch. CSK coach Stephen Fleming said that - “ They have strengthened their team as most franchises have, but CSK will keep these two players stopable; it will help ” .
CSK’s Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana is dealing with an injury that kept him out of the first game. The buzz is that he may not be fit soon and Fleming didn’t want to answer on the fitness status of the superb slinger. Nathan Ellis, with his cutters, isn’t a bad option, but Kohli & Co. wouldn’t exactly be having sleepless nights.
