Timesofindia.com in Ahmedabad: Mohammed Musif, a room from Ahmedabad, wore Virat Kohli’s test jersey outside the Narendra Modi stadium and thinks that this year, the curse will finally be lifted for his hero and the team he has supported since the creation of the IPL in 2008.“RCB should win and Virat must raise the title. I don’t know when I’m going to see him then play Ahmedabad. I have four tickets and I bring my two sons to watch it. RCB must win tomorrow, ”explains Musif, who must now buy two other jerseys for his children.During the pre-match press conference, Captain of the RCB, Rajat Comidar, was almost sidelined, because most of the questions were directed against his counterpart, Shreyas Iyer, who had undoubtedly played his best shot a few hours ago.Rajat was questioned on Kohli and the huge expectations of RCB fans and the skipper handled the pressure with a straight bat.“I think it is not frustrating for me (Virat being the center of attention). He gave many years to RCB and the international team. We will try to do our best in the game,” Patidar told journalists.
On the pressure of fans, Patidar said: “I think no one can deny expectations, but for me, it is important to focus on the present moment. I always look at what is under my control.”The last time these two teams met in Mullanpur, Virat Kohli was all drawn. Although it is no longer captain, he remains the emotional nucleus of the RCB, making them advance with relentless energy.With 614 races, Kohli is the main RUN-detained RCB this season and seems to run on something more. In qualify 1, he was his best cinematographic.Standing between Kohli and this eligible IPL title is the shreyas Iyer iced cooling. After losing the qualifier 1, he said: “We lost the battle, but not the war.”Sunday evening, the captain of Punjab Kings struck like a possessed man. He did not even celebrate when he reached his half-century or after hitting the six winners, but gave Shashank Singh a bite for a useless run-out.“I felt like my work was half finished. It’s not even over. We have a match tomorrow. I approached it with this state of mind. Job is half a finished and I have to come back tomorrow and play again, “said Shreyas.He admitted that he is thriving in big games and entered an area. Unlike Kohli, he does not wear his emotions on his round – he remains cool and has his own way of getting the most out of his players.“When I say you are in the area, it starts before the match. It starts with the warm -up – how you plan and approach the game. Once we started to align, I was completely locked up on how I will join my players.“(At the striker), I thought that I would give myself a little time and that I see how we plan our games around him. Once my eyes were well, it was just flow – behind my instinct and going according to the execution rate. Fortunately, I clicked and that the team took advantage of it,” added Shreyas.He admitted that he had only slept four hours since his striking whirlwind and would try to recharge his batteries to appear fresh for the great final of Tuesday. The RCB, on the other hand, is well rested and even had a blow under the lights on Monday.In a battle between fire and ice, one thing is guaranteed – it will be entertaining, with the rain of Ahmedabad likely to make an appearance too.
