Tim David, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter, spoke highly of Virat Kohli's temperament following a challenging phase in the IPL 2026 season. Despite facing criticism after two ducks, Kohli rebounded with a match-winning century against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), showcasing his resilience and consistency. David noted that Kohli's mindset remained unchanged, stating, "He doesn't change; you wouldn't have known that he had two ducks unless you'd been watching TV." This reflects Kohli's ability to maintain focus under pressure. David also mentioned that RCB's successful campaign relies on the collective efforts of the team rather than individual brilliance. He praised the top order's fearless approach, which allows the middle order to contribute effectively. Currently, RCB is at the top of the points table with 16 points from 12 matches, and a victory against Punjab Kings (PBKS) would secure their playoff spot. David expressed confidence in his own form, emphasizing the importance of decision-making and composure in high-pressure situations.
