RCB will play their IPL 2021 tournament opener against the Mumbai Indians on April 9 at the Chepauk, followed by two more matches on the same ground. They will play their remaining league games in Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Kolkata.
During a discussion on India News, Saba Karim also said that Virat Kohli opening the batting could augur well for RCB’s success in IPL 2021.
The former India wicketkeeper said that Virat Kohli could be keener on winning the trophy rather than ending his century drought in IPL 2021.
Virat Kohli has endured a long wait for a century, with his last ton coming in the pink-ball Test against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in November 2019.
Winning an elusive IPL trophy will make a difference to Virat Kohli’s career: Saba Karim
Saba Karim highlighted that winning a maiden IPL title would have a significant impact on Virat Kohli’s career, rather than him scoring a century.
The 53-year-old concluded by pointing out that Virat Kohli opening the batting could go a long way in RCB winning IPL 2021, as Kohli has the ability to pace his innings according to the match situation.
Virat Kohli has already confirmed that he would open the innings for RCB in IPL 2021.
However, apart from the likes of their captain and AB de Villiers, the three-time finalists will need their middle-order batsmen like Glenn Maxwell and the bowling department to fire for a successful IPL 2021 campaign.
