Timesofindia.com in Ahmedabad: Mohammed Musif, local Ahmedabad, wore the Virata Kohli test jersey outside the Narendra Modi stadium and believes that this year the curse will finally be raised for its hero and the team that has supported IPL in 2008.“The RCB should win and the virat has to raise the title. I don’t know when I can see him playing in Ahmedabad. I have four tickets and bring my two sons to watch him.At the press conference before the match, the captain of RCB Rajat Patidar was almost postponed, because most of the questions were focused on his counterpart Shreyas Iyer, who probably played his best knocking a few hours ago.Rajat was interrogated by Kohl and immense expectations from RCB fans and the captain solved the pressure with a straight bat.“I think it is not frustrating for me (with a virat is the center of attention). RCB and the international aspect has given many years. We are trying to do our best in the game,” Patidar told reporters.

As for the pressure of fans, Patidar said, “I think no one can expect, but for me it is important to focus on the current moment. I always look at what is under my control.”The last two teams met in Mullanpur, Virt Kohli was fired. Although he is no longer a captain, he remains the emotional core of the RCB and leads them forward with persistent energy.With 614 runs, Kohli is the front run-Getter RCB this season and it seems to be running on something extra. He was in his best film in his qualifying.Standing between Kohli and the elusive title of IPL is the Ice Shreyas Iyer. After he lost the qualifier 1, he said great, “We lost the battle but not war.”On Sunday evening, Captain Kings Pandjab fired like a man. He didn’t even celebrate when he reached his half-century or after hitting the winning six-but SHASHANK Singh’s mouth for an unnecessary touch.“I felt as if my work was half -done. It is not even done. We have a match tomorrow. I proceeded with this approach. The work is half done and I have to return and play again tomorrow,” Shreyas said.He acknowledged that he was doing well in big matches and got into the zone. Unlike Kohli, he does not wear his emotions on his sleeve – he remains cool and has his own way to get the best of his players.“When I say you are in the zone, it starts before the game. It starts from heating-as you plan and approach the game. As soon as we started the field, I was completely locked as I would gather my players.”“(When launching) I thought I’d have a little time and then see how we plan our games around him. Once my eyes were set up, it was just a flow – I thought my instincts and went by running speed.He admitted that he had only slept for four hours since his knocks and tried to recharge his batteries to appear fresh for the Great Tuesday finals. RCB, on the other hand, is well relaxed and even hit the lights on Monday.In the battle between fire and ice, one thing is guaranteed – it will be fun, with Ahmedabad’s rain will probably appear as well.
