One mistake could “spoil” the entire tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli on Monday warned his colleagues in the IPL’s first virtual team meeting, while imploring them to do all they can to keep the bio-bubble secure.
“We have followed what’s been told to us and I would expect everyone to be on the same page in terms of securing the bubble at all times and making sure that nothing is compromised,” Kohli said. “...Because I think one mistake by any one of us could literally spoil the whole tournament. And none of us want to do that.”
The India captain stressed on the need to develop a good team culture from the first day. “I can’t wait to get to our first practice session, something that we all are going to cherish. An opportunity to create a good team culture from Day 1,” he said.
At the start of the meeting, in a video which the franchise shared on its Twitter handle, Kohli said: “It’s awkward to have a welcome meeting like this but (this is) something that we probably have to get used to quite a bit.”
