Gautam Gambhir Hailed RCB For Its Attitude Ahead Of KKR vs RCB Clash
Gautam Gambhir, now serving as the mentor for Kolkata Knight Riders, will be up against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, led by Virat Kohli. Both Gambhir and Kohli have their eyes set on victory for their respective teams. Gambhir expressed his views on the upcoming clash, suggesting that despite Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s lack of titles, they still carry themselves with a confident attitude. He said:
“One team which I want to beat everyone probably even in my dreams was Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They are the second most high-profile team, a flamboyant team with the owner and squad. Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers. They have not won anything but still thought that they have won everything and that kind of attitude.”
“Three best wins of Kolkata Knight Riders has ever had came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The first game of the IPL, Brendon McCullum against RCB. 49 all out against RCB. 6 overs 100 against RCB. It was probably the first time when 100 was scored in power play, Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine.
“We always knew they are the very strong side and probably the most aggressive batting unit as well. Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers what can get better than this.”
