Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli applauded all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja after the experienced player showed his class and put up one of the greatest shows in Mumbai. The swashbuckling cricketer got life on 0 and eventually troubled the opponent. He smashed Harshal Patel for 37 runs in the final over to bring up an unbeaten 28-ball 62.
Meanwhile, he showed his magic with the ball as he then picked up three wickets for 13 runs in his four overs spell which included the prized scalps of AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell and later he ran out Dan Christian with a direct hit as well. Howveer, his all-round show impressed Virat Kohli and also said that his team was probably beaten by one man – Ravindra Jadeja.

Meanwhile, this was RCB’s first defeat in the season so far, although Harshal Patel had a good day in the field as he took three wickets for just 14 runs in his first three overs as well. But his final over became a nightmare due to Ravindra Jadeja’s onslaught. Kohli shared that he will give the responsibility to his main death bowler in the upcoming games as well.

“You have to look at it the right way. It’s come at the right time for us. You have to understand the things that went wrong. I think this is positive feedback for our side. It’s good to get a performance like this out of the way early in the season. We were there most of the moments in the game, but the key ones we lost badly. Jaddu displaying his skills took the game away from us. You can probably say one guy beat us,” said Virat Kohli.

“We will continue to give him responsibility [Harshal] he got both the set batsmen out and plucked all the momentum away. We have to look at this in the right way. Brush it aside and learn from it. We will continue to use guys at 3 because we have Maxi and AB to follow. We will continue to use that depth. We’ll throw in guys there and ask them to change the game for us. [Jadeja] I am very happy to see him perform with the bat, ball and on the field. Always a pleasure to see your premier all-rounder do well with the bat,” he concluded.
