Mike Hesson confirmed that Virat Kohli will be opening the innings for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2021 and backed the skipper to come good for the team this season.
Royal Challengers Bangalore's director of cricket Mike Hesson can't wait see what Virat Kohli does as an opener in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. Kohli will join the franchise in Chennai on April 1 and undergo a mandatory 7-day quarantine period before starting training for IPL 2021. Hesson confirmed that Virat Kohli will be opening the innings for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2021. He will partner young Devdutt Paddikal in the 13th edition. Kohli had announced his decision to open after his match-winning 80 not out against England in the final T20I in Ahmedabad earlier this month. Hesson also reiterated the skipper's words and said that Kohli will "bat at the top of the order" because he is familiar with that position.More Related News
