Faf Du Plessis hails Virat Kohli

Mumbai: Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis was happy to see his predecessor and key batter Virat Kohli hit some sort of form, but pointed out their inability to add 10-15 more runs to their total as the reason for their six-wicket defeat to Gujarat Titans. "It was a huge step in the right direction to get a solid 50. You want one of your top 4 to get the 70s in the future, so it's good," du Plessis said of Kohli's knock. However, he rued that the other batters could not capitalise on the base built by Kohli and Patidar. "We tried to get 175-180. They bowled well in the middle and kept us down. We started well with the ball but they played under pressure really well as they are in the tournament," du Plessis said after the match.
