IPL 2025: Mo Bobat Outlines Virat Kohli’s New Approach for RCB’s IPL Title Pursuit
Virat Kohli will play a key role for RCB as they aim to win their first IPL title. The team relies on his experience and performance to overcome past challenges and finally lift the trophy. His contributions will be vital in leading the franchise to success this season.
Kohli, known for playing as an anchor and batting deep into innings for RCB, took a more aggressive approach during the powerplay overs last season. To support him and strengthen their attacking options, RCB added powerful hitters like Phil Salt and Tim David to their squad during last month’s IPL 2025 auction.
RCB team director Mo Bobat shared that Virat Kohli is set to follow a refreshed approach for IPL 2025. With the team’s new signings, the RCB wants Kohli to maintain his attacking intent and focus on maximizing every delivery he faces, aligning with their strategy for the upcoming season. He said:
I certainly won’t be, and Andy certainly won’t be, sending the team out with somebody having the intent to drop anchor. That isn’t what’s required. We want to make the most of every delivery. Players can be trusted to assess the situation, and the conditions out there, and Virat will be no different to anybody else.
Kohli and Salt, who are likely to open for RCB this season, were in great form last year. Kohli adapted his batting style brilliantly, winning the Orange Cap with 741 runs at an average of 61.75, while Salt impressed with 435 runs and a striking rate of 182.
