After steering Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a crucial six-wicket win against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, Virat Kohli shed light on the method behind his consistent run-chasing success. Speaking to the broadcasters after the win, Kohli stressed on the basics- reading the conditions, understanding the bowling attack, and most importantly, keeping the scoreboard moving. When asked about the things he looks into while chasing, Kohli revealed: "The total on the board. What the conditions are like. Who are the bowlers that are due to bowl. Who are the bowlers that are going to be hard to get away." He also added how he keeps the scoreboard ticking and tries to find occasional boundaries. "I try and make sure that my singles and doubles don't stop. And then you keep getting the odd boundary in between. The game never gets stagnant. So, that's always been my focus to keep working on rotating strikes, singles and doubles," he said. Kohli also pointed out that the nature of T20 cricket has evolved, with conditions demanding a smarter approach. "People, I think, are forgetting the importance of stitching in a partnership or going deep into the innings in T20 cricket. And I think this year around, you're seeing that you can't just come out and tee off from ball one. You need to have professionalism, to read the situation and try and get into a position where you can start dominating the bowlers", he said. He further added: "And for that, you need to string in a partnership. And it won't come easy on a slow pitch if you don't know how to rotate the strike. So, yeah, that's pretty much my method." "It was a top win": Kohli reflects on 100-run stand with Krunal after early collapse Chasing 163, RCB found themselves in early trouble at 26 for 3 after four overs. However, Kohli remained composed, focusing on strike rotation. Partnering with Krunal Pandya, who was promoted up the order, the pair rebuilt the innings with a 100-run partnership that set up the victory. "Whenever there's a chase on or there's a situation I go in, I keep checking with the dugout whether we are on course, what is my role, what is the kind of innings I need to play," Kohli said. "It was a top win, we were under pressure, 3 for 26 and then me and Krunal getting a 100-run partnership."
