Anushka has been the biggest support for Kohli and the cricketer has admitted that time and again at various platforms and hence it was not surprising to see the reaction from her when RCB scripted the win. 

Chasing 228 to win, Kohli got the side off to a brilliant start. He also registered a fifty but was dismissed just after that. He scored 54 off 30 balls and laid the platform for the big chase. But it was Jitesh Sharma who emerged as the hero. He remained unbeaten on a scintillating 85* off 33 balls. His innings was laced with six sixes and eight fours. 

‘I was thinking about just staying in the present’

"I can't express my thoughts, I was thinking about just staying in the present. When Virat got out I thought of taking the game deep and that is what my mentor (Dinesh Karthik) tells me that the kind of calibre I have I can finish the game from any situation," Jitesh, who was awarded the POTM, said at the post-match presentation.
