twitter.com/1jawsx9tdj "I thought Dev made a difference today, this award should go to him, I don't know why they have given it to me. I can accelerate, but I want to understand the strengths of other players.
Holding one end up at the moment, that's working for us, " Kohli said during the post-match presentation. "We've set ourselves up nicely. Dev (Padikkal) can play around me, maybe Rajat (Patidar) can play around me.
There's always a temptation to keep going the same way. We know in a run chase in T20 cricket, one partnership is enough. If need be, I can accelerate," said Kohli, who now has 8,326 IPL runs and 322 runs from eight games this season.
"It was a very important game for us. When you go from 8 (points) to 10, it makes a massive difference. We have played some amazing cricket away from home.
The mindset has to be to get 2 points in every game," said Kohli..
