Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif gave his take on the chances of Virat Kohli winning the IPL title this year, saying Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been in a scintillating form this year and with their best all-round side the Bengaluru-based franchise will definitely lift their maiden title.
In the current season, RCB are placed second with 16 points and one win away from securing their place in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, who into the tournament on the back of Orange Cap-winning 2024 season (741 runs), is currently placed fourth in the list of most run-getter this season with 505 runs, just six runs shy of the top placed Surya Kumar Yadav (510 runs).
"If we talk about RCB as a team, they have been fantastic. I am emphasising the word ‘team’ because they have always been a batting-heavy team, they used to have the mindset of outsourcing their opponents. But this time Rajat Patidar has done a fantastic job of using his bowlers, restricting opponents while defending 170-180.
