Manoj Tiwary made a powerful comparison of RCB’s current campaign to India’s 2011 World Cup journey under MS Dhoni where the nation rallied around Sachin Tendulkar in a bid to give him a deserving world title. Tiwary urged Rajat Patidar and rest of RCB squad to keep the momentum going for the sake of Virat Kohli.
“With Gujarat Titans losing, RCB now have a very good chance to finish in the top two. It looks like the entire universe is working to help RCB end the trophy drought and win the IPL.,” Tiwary said on Cricbuzz.
“Virat Kohli deserves this, so many years have gone by. RCB deserves the trophy. With GT losing against Lucknow Super Giants, RCB can finish in the top two. The entire RCB team deserves to win the trophy,” he added.

“But no one deserves it more than Virat Kohli because when in 2011 the Indian team won the World Cup, we all were wishing for it because of Sachin Tendulkar. We all wanted India to win the World Cup because for so many years he serviced Indian cricket,” said Tiwary.
“Similarly, in franchise cricket, the leading run-getters list has been dominated by Kohli; he has been going in every year. RCB need to win the trophy for Virat Kohli. Push for him, he has been a great Indian captain as well. If RCB win this year, it will be a tribute to Virat Kohli,” he added.
