Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli lavished praise on Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell's 37-ball, 56-run innings against Mumbai Indians, which was the cornerstone of the side's 54-run victory over five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Sunday, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the RCB top-order finally clicked with Kohli smashing a half-century, followed by another classic T20 innings from Maxwell which helped the side reach a competitive 165\/6 and then dismiss the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians for 111 runs in 18.1 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
RCB are currently third behind CSK and DC with 12 points and Kohli would be happy to have broken a three-match losing streak. Maxwell slammed three sixes and six boundaries in his 56 and also claimed the wickets of MI captain Rohit Sharma and Krunal Pandya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Maxi's (Maxwell) innings was unbelievable. If you don't try and stamp your authority, (Jasprit) Bumrah will get over you -- that's how good he is! You have to be at your level best. I'd give it a perfect ten tonight," Kohli said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We left out 15 (runs) out there... Those are the things where we feel we can get 20-25 extra runs."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kohli also applauded the hat-trick efforts of pace bowler Harshal Patel, who became the third Royal Challengers Bowler to achieve the feat. Patel has been leading the 'Purple Cap' for a long and his four-wicket haul on Sunday takes his tally to 23 wickets from 10 matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I went with my gut feel with DC (Christian). With his experience and change-ups, he bowled an amazing over. What Harshal did was unbelievable."<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/09\/virat-kohli-heavily-praises-maxwell--harshal-after-victory-against-mi.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for Virat Kohli Heavily Praises Maxwell & Harshal After Victory against MI", "alt_title": "Virat Kohli Praises Maxwell & Harshal", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Virat Kohli Heavily Praises Maxwell & Harshal After Victory against MI On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli lavished praise on Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell's 37-ball, 56-run innings against Mumbai Indians, which was the cornerstone of the side&", "seo_keywords": "Harshal Patel, Glenn Maxwell, Royal Challengers Bangalore, IPL 2021, Virat Kohli", "tag": null, "tagging": "Harshal Patel,Glenn Maxwell,Royal Challengers Bangalore,IPL 2021,Virat Kohli,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "virat-kohli-heavily-praises-maxwell-harshal-after-victory-against-mi", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "2326", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2021-09-27 13:10:25", "updated": "2021-09-27 15:16:48", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Virat Kohli, IPL, Glenn Maxwell, Harshal Patel, RCB", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "12", "jio_date": "2021-09-27 13:10:25", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2021-09-27 13:10:25", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/virat-kohli-heavily-praises-maxwell-harshal-after-victory-against-mi-84496" }
