“However long you’ve played the game, you still have those anxieties and stresses. Sometimes you just have to tell yourself it’ll be okay.

“Just keep digging in, working hard, at some point we will be okay. I actually did feel really good in the last game, even though I only scored 13 or something.” Riding on Kohli’s century, RCB posted 183/3 however Royals took 19.1 overs to chase the goal and safe their fourth win on the trot.
