Virat Kohli chatted with Gujarat Titans coach after RCB's win, expressed ‘disappointment’: ‘I said, it’s for somebody…'

At one stage, it seemed as if Kohli would complete his century without breaking a sweat. However, it wasn't to be, as he lost his wicket to Jason Holder in trying to force the pace. Kohli eventually scored 81 runs off 44 balls, including eight fours and four sixes.

After the conclusion of the match, Gujarat Titans' assistant coach Vijay Dahiya revealed that Kohli was disappointed with himself as he felt that he could have converted his knock into a hundred and got his 9th IPL century overall.

"When you are playing and when you are commanding the situation, you make the bowler bowl where you want him to bowl. And that's the kind of innings Virat has played. Put pressure on the bowlers. And world-class bowlers. That's what Virat Kohli is all about. It's his mindset that sets him apart from many people. He's one of the best runners so far; he's pushing the youngsters on his side," he added.

RCB move to the second spot

With the win over the Gujarat Titans, RCB moved to the second spot in the points table, only behind the Punjab Kings. The fixture saw the RCB captain winning the toss and opting to bowl.

Gujarat then posted 205/3 in 20 overs, owing to a century by Sai Sudharsan. However, the side failed to capitalise on the 128-run opening stand between Sudharsan and Shubman Gill, scoring only 205 runs. RCB then chased the total down owing to half-centuries by Kohli and Padikkal.

RCB will next face the Delhi Capitals on Monday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
