Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli has said that a pull shot against Mumbai Indians' speedster Jasprit Bumrah in the Super Over has helped him to find his form. The game took place on September 28.
Recently, Virat Kohli smashed an unbeaten 90 on Saturday against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), following up on scores of 43 and an unbeaten 72 in the previous two matches in the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League (IPL). Notably, before that, he had scored 14, 1 and 3 as well.

"Before that, I was trying to do too much, taking focus away from what I need to do which is watch the ball and just bat. If you think too much about responsibility, you get burdened and you don't play as a player. Your skills are required for your team's success," he said in the post-match presentation ceremony where he was adjudged the player of the match.
"That Super Over where I had to strike, else we would have lost, freed me up. Then I started enjoying training. The next few sessions were very good from a batting point of view. I was hitting the ball well in the last game as well and wanted to do exactly that today. Training all these days also helped," he further added.
While his teammates failed to step up, it was the young talent Devdutt Padikkal who backed Kohli quite well. Meanwhile, Kohli brought up his half-century in 39 balls and later smashed the next 37 runs in just 13 balls.
"It's about understanding the conditions and respecting the game instead of trying to hit every ball into the second tier of the stadium. That is what experience is and having played so much cricket, especially T20 cricket, I understand that if you are set at the death, you can really capitalise," concluded Kohli.
