Virat Kohli | Man of the match (1/3): (You saved the best for last!) Well, this is what you dream about. I’ve thought about this moment many times: you know, one day when we win the IPL, I’ll have to stand there and score winning runs, and tonight it was possible. So yes, this is just a dream day for us. And like I said, right after the game, we felt very relaxed coming into today’s game and confident in how we wanted to play our game and what kind of team we had. And it gives you confidence that you can bring any situation to an end. But yes, during the chase I felt very comfortable, knowing exactly what to do. (After getting his fastest IPL score in his 19th season) Well, not really. I mean, that’s the demands of sports today. I mean you have super young players pushing you all the time and really asking you to change your game and up the ante. And that’s an exciting situation because it gives you something to improve on, something to strive for. And yeah, I just take pride in getting better and just trying to find areas where I can improve. So yeah, it was just a case of the demands of today’s modern game where you need to make those 20-30 extra runs. And I’ve had to kind of change my mindset, not so much my game, to play the shots that I’m hitting, but more often to take on the bowlers, probably the best bowlers of the opposition. This has always been my goal. I am very glad that I was able to contribute to the team.
