"AB is always been someone who's been ready to look at the situation and adapt his game accordingly," said Kohli in the post-match presentation ceremony. "We have seen him do this time and again. In my eyes, he's the most impactful player in the IPL. When he goes, the opposition know they have a slim chance and there's a good reason for that. It's purely because of the presence of someone like him that teams feel we are never out of the game."
Kohli also praised the bowlers, reckoning that the team has struck a good balance this season. "The bowling has really stepped up this season. Looks we're gonna be put under pressure and there will be guys with skill with the bat in the opposition but the guys have come back strongly. Morris has been outstanding, just that energy he brings. Saini, Washy, and Isuru as well, the bowling has come together nicely. This time around we have been able to strike a good balance," he said.
