Virat Kohli reckons RCB Women still have a 1% chance to qualify for playoffs
After losing four games in a row, RCB Women finally opened their account with a win over UP Warriorz. RCB Women beat UP Warriorz by 5 wickets at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai.
Meanwhile, former RCB captain, Virat Kohli is of the opinion that RCB Women still have a 1% chance to qualify for the playoffs. He further added that RCB Women need to convert 1% to 10% and then to 30%.
If RCB Women approach the upcoming games with this mentality, something magical might happen according to Virat Kohli. Even though nothing happens, Virat Kohli said it is important to walk with heads high after 3 games.
Furthermore, the former RCB captain said it is very important to build character in players going forward into the next season of the Women’s Premier League. RCB Women will lock horns with Gujarat Giants Women in the upcoming game at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on March 18.
