Speaking after receiving the Player of the Match award, Virat Kohli admitted that RCB entered the final with a sense of calm confidence. “So yeah, just a dream day for us. We felt really relaxed coming into the game and were confident about the kind of cricket we wanted to play. That confidence allows you to handle any situation during a chase,” Kohli said.
