Mumbai,
\nVirat Kohli became the highest run-getter in Indian Premier League during his 92-run innings against Mumbai Indians but the star batsman said it doesn\u2019t really matter as his effort couldn\u2019t ensure a victory for Royal Challengers Bangalore.<\/p>\n
Kohli\u2019s 62-ball knock went in vain as RCB finished at 167-9 in 20 overs while chasing MI\u2019s 213-6, built largely around skipper Rohit Sharma\u2019s 52-ball 94. This was their third defeat in four matches with a 46-run loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t feel like wearing this (orange cap) right now because it really doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d said Kohli, who took his IPL total to 4,619 runs in 153 matches, surpassing Chennai Super Kings\u2019 Suresh Raina (4,558).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got off to a great start but we just threw it away, and need to reflect on our dismissals. We knew there would be a little bit of dew, we needed not your 40-45s but 80-85s. In the end it was all about making sure that the run-rate doesn\u2019t take a hit; credit to Mumbai though, they bowled really well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kohli said Mumbai Indians showed great resilience after losing early wickets.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t get any chances, we bowled in the areas we thought were good but they counter-attacked well. When you have your backs against the wall you do come out with a performance like this and that\u2019s what they did,\u201d the 29-year-old said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven after they were two wickets down, they showed resilience like good teams do. We tried our hardest but we just couldn\u2019t get wickets in the middle stages.\u201d Leg-spinner Mayank Markande was excited after receiving the purple cap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
