Through one-and-half hours, he cut, hooked and pulled-in a valorous idiom, yielding boundaries with his bountiful blade. Virat Kohli&rsquo;s 108 off 58 balls against Rising Super Punegiants at M Chinnasway Stadium on Saturday, which Royal Challengers Bangalore won by seven wickets, was a testimony of his technical purity, unflappable temperament, a fondness for the big stage and that ability to patiently construct an innings under all condition.<\/p>\n<p>Happy with his innings that gave his team the much-needed victory, skipper Virat Kohli said that he was pretty determined tonight. &ldquo;The last time in Hyderabad we had to chase down 192 and we were pumped up. Today, I was motivated to go that extra mile and we needed to win six out of seven to qualify. I&#8217;m just happy we could pull that one off. It&#8217;s never easy in a chase when you need to find boundaries at the right time.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In all praise for KL Rahul and Shane Watson, he said that they made brilliant contributions to the winning cause. &ldquo;I always check my heart rate (laughs), if it&#8217;s fine then I can take better decisions. It&#8217;s all about keeping your nerves and enthusiasm in check. I try to focus on myself and what I need to do and I convince myself completely before going for it. When you are chasing 12-13 per over and losing wickets, you can&#8217;t bog down. You&#8217;d rather pick an area and get your boundaries there. It&#8217;s about understanding the situation and doing what suits best at that time. Even today I was not keen on celebrating too much after the hundred, the victory matters more for the team.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-14658\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/virat-royal-challengers.jpg\" alt=\"virat royal challengers\" width=\"260\" height=\"165\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/virat-royal-challengers.jpg 260w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/virat-royal-challengers-150x95.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>Bengaluru:<\/strong> He played with an authority, almost an arrogance that was dazzling to watch and mostly impossible to contend with.
