IPL: Kohli is positive despite losing to Chennai
It was a start that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli would like to forget as his team was thrashed by seven wickets by defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the season-opening game of the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) here.
But trying to remain positive despite the result on Saturday, Kohli said that it was good to get a loss like this out of the way early in the tournament. Having scored just 70 runs after losing the toss and batting first, Kohli’s men saw Chennai chase down the target in the 18th over of the innings.
He revealed that the idea was to take the game as deep down as possible after a poor start with the bat.
