Virat Kohli is such an amazing guy. Here he mocks Khaleel’s celebration after Khaleel dismissed him. Always happy when youngsters do well. Can remember the way he rejoiced Karun Nair’s success. pic.twitter.com/y1OtzdqbNR

After the win, Kohli emphasised on RCB’s performance in the later stage of the tournament and tried to take positives out of it. Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, the 30-year-old said, “We haven’t finished in the position that we wanted to. But because the second half has been so good it doesn’t feel like a bad season. We won last 5 off our 7 matches and with one no-result, it is something that we can be proud of. It is such a short format that often 5 or 7 minutes decide the outcome.”
