The Indian T20 League is about to start as the 16th edition of the T20 extravaganza is set to kick off on March 31. The fans are also eagerly waiting for the league to start as they will get to see their favorite cricket superstars playing together, that too in a home-away format, this time.
Meanwhile, the Bangalore-based franchise which has one of the biggest fanbases in the world, is all set to be in action and have also started practicing for it. However, they, recently, got trolled when one of the pictures from their photoshoot went viral on social media. Many fans advised them to focus on their practice rather than on photoshoots and other activities. Despite their wonderful performance in the league, they are yet to win a title.
I am just back to playing the way I do: Virat Kohli
Meanwhile, the team is looking stronger this time. Former Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has got his form back in all three formats which will definitely help them to get their hands on the trophy for the first time. However, Kohli, recently, said that he is yet to get his best form back and he is hoping that it comes in the Indian T20 League 2023.
“If I am able to get to the level I want to play at and help the team, it will be exciting. I am just back to playing the way I do. There’s still a lot of room to get to my best which hopefully happens in the Indian T20 League if I am able to get to the level I want to play at and help the team and it will be exciting.” Kohli was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
Kohli didn’t have a great last season as he was able to score 341 runs at a strike rate of 115.99. Despite this, the franchise managed to qualify for the playoffs where they were eliminated by the Rajasthan-based franchise. This time, they will look to put their 100% effort and bring the first title to their home.
Here’s how fans reacted:
