Earlier, Kohli said that fans have been disappointed with his new cool and composed avatar, pointing out they have been denied the on-field ‘masala’ associated with the two-time World Cup-winning India star.
Talking about the match, KKR survived a late charge by RCB batsmen to win by one run in an IPL thriller after Kohli’s angry outburst at his dismissal on Sunday.
Opting to field first at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, Bengaluru conceded 222-6, with Phil Salt’s explosive 48 off 14 balls and skipper Shreyas Iyer’s solid 50.
In the final over bowled by Mitchell Starc, requiring 21 runs to win, RCB’s number 10 batsman, Karn Sharma, struck three sixes before eventually getting caught and bowled.
Wicketkeeper Salt then ran out Lockie Ferguson on the last ball despite a wide throw by the fielder as RCB were bowled out for 221.
RCB slipped early in their chase when Kohli, who made a seven-ball 18, fell caught and bowled off Harshit Rana.
