The twelfth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is slated to kick-start from March 23 with defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Chennai. Ahead of a new start, skipper of three time runners-up RCB, Virat Kohli revealed why his team did not win even a single title, he said his team’s decision making was not good in big games.
"If you take wrong decisions, then you will lose. Our decision making was not good in big games. When the team's decision making is balanced, those teams have won in the IPL," Kohli said on Saturday.
"Even after so many years and having reached three finals and played three semi-finals, not having the trophy in our hands, we never felt like there was a lack of enthusiasm before starting a season and that is something that stands out for me the most and that can only happen when you have such a strong fan base."
Ahead of the twelfth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), skipper Kohli had urged to his teammates to smartly manage their workload during the tournament. He stated that it will be their responsibility to stay fit and fresh for the upcoming ICC World Cup, scheduled to begin from May 30.
“All the workload will be monitored and given a window, the guys can afford to rest. The World Cup comes every four years and we play IPL every year,” said Kohli after India lost the decisive fifth ODI by 35 runs on Wednesday to concede the series 2-3 to Australia.
