We need him in the first six overs, that’s ultimately how I want to see him play. Let Faf take more risks than before, but I want you Virat to be there for more than 6 to 15 overs. That’s when RCB is going to fire on all cylinders. Be careful of him. Not a bad start for RCB, but not great either. It is in the middle and they need to win some matches. They will now play away and hopefully get some good luck away from home before Chinnaswamy comes back.” Let us tell you that this season also Virat Kohli is the top scorer for RCB.
