Not 100% fit Kohli takes RCB home
Virat Kohli, who became the orange cap (228 runs) holder after his innings of 49 runs vs LSG, revealed after the game that he's not 100 percent fit. "I'm still not 100%. My knee was a bit sore last game. Even health-wise, I've been under the weather for four or five days now. So yeah, just getting back up to my best," said the veteran batter.
After Phil Salt departed early, Kohli added 57 runs for the second wicket with Devdutt Padikkal and 20 runs with skipper Patidar before being dismissed on the 11th over with team at 86/3. RCB were well on course of victory by the time Kohli departed, needing 60-odd runs in nearly 10 overs with seven wickets left.

`LSG started the season with a loss before winning next two matches but have lost their way in the last two games. Their batting is not coming together and it is costing them a lot. Speaking after the loss, batter Nicholas Pooran, who himself is horribly out of form, said: "Tough season for us, we were below par, 175 would have been competitive, we have been struggling with the bat ... It's T20 cricket, tough game, tough to stay consistent, guys have been working hard, it's a matter of time, have to stay patient and take the opportunity when it comes. I'm feeling really good, stroking the ball nicely but it hasn't gone my way. I've been in this situation before and confident I can do it."
