We have got to pull up our socks, says Virat Kohli

Virat Kolhi - RCB Captain - IPL 2013

After loosing their last two matches, Royal Challengers Bangalore have put themselves in trouble and now need to win their last IPL game against Chennai Super Kings if it is to sneak into the play-offs.

At one point of time it looked that Royal Challengers Bangalore would definitely make it to the IPL 2013 playoffs but then all of a sudden team lost two matches against weaker or out of form teams like Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab and are now struggling to make it to play offs.

After losing to Kings XI Punjab by 7 wickets, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday said the team needed to pull up the socks in its last IPL game against Chennai Super Kings if it is to sneak into the play-offs.

“We have got to pull up our socks and go out to win the last game. We need a good bowling performance because the batting has been really consistent in the tournament,” Kohli told reporters in the post-match press conference.

“We have put up really big scores and it is all about going out there and defending (the total),” he added.

Kohli, who put on 137 runs for the second wicket with Chris Gayle, said the team hasn`t played good cricket in the last few games and the bowling department has been a bit of a worry.

“We have to look at the last game against Punjab and try to improve our bowling at the death,” he said.

“Hopefully, the team would put in its best performance in the next game.

“Bowling was a bit of a concern last year as well. This year the team thought of picking up more options, but the guys haven`t been able to execute in last few overs,” Kohli said.

Royal Challengers Bangalore still stand a chance if they win the last game and Sunrisers Hyderabad lose their both matches.

“That`s a different story, but all we can do is concentrate on our game and we need to win the next one and then see what happens after that. Really can`t control what other teams are doing but we can control playing good cricket in the next game and just be in a strong position,” he said.

Previously Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 5 Wickets on 12th May 2013.
