Royal Challengers Bangalore lost to Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets with 1.5 overs remaining. RCB captain Virat Kohli looked a bit comfortable while batting as he scored 53 off 41 balls. After the loss, skipper Kohli said, " We spoke of areas we didn't want them to hit and we didn't do that. That little bit of X factor was missing in the first 5-6 overs. Got to get on that winning run again. This one is a bit more disappointing. The first one we just weren't in the game. Have to show more courage in crunch moments. This tournament goes by quickly."
"The wicket did slow down a bit. But I feel we left out 15-20 runs out there. 175 would've been a winning total. Didn't bowl consistently. Didn't show that much courage I guess with the ball. They bowled well in the back end of the innings, executed the slower balls and yorkers nicely."
