Here's how their player reacted after the win. Virat Kohli: 'We knew what kind of ability we have in the group' "I said to a few other boys that it doesn't feel like the same pressure as last year. We knew what kind of ability we have in the group.
We topped the table. There's a reason why we got here first and we just said one thing: if we stick to our cricket, if we execute our plans, we are the best team in the comp, and there's a reason why we have done well so far in the group stage. We ended up topping the league stage. And yeah, just the skill sets we have, the maturity, the composure of the guys just shown through again tonight, and it was a clinical performance.
"Well, to be fair, after the break, we had one loss. And then we had a close win against MI. I'd say that week for us was a bit tricky because we wanted to finish at the top.
But as soon as we got that win against MI, the belief came back in, then we had a comprehensive win against KKR, and then yeah, just ended up topping the table and just on our way to the finals. "It's been amazing. I mean, we had to wait for so long and then you know... just to have a group of guys where you feel like when you are stepping on to the ground, you don't need to be the one to step up every time. There is a guy behind you, around you, who can win games of cricket for you.
We have so many Man-of-the-Match awards spread throughout the group as well. "I mean, you look at world-class bowling, like Hoff, Bhuv, Duff, I mean, Krunal Pandya, you can bank on him as good as ever. Rasik Dar was brilliant this season. And all the batsmen chipped in as well.
I feel so happy to be playing in a group where we have balance, we have strength and we are an all-round strong team. That's why we have the confidence we have on the field right now." Krunal Pandya: 'Every IPL trophy is special' "There's no doubt about it, every IPL trophy is special. It's like having kids, you can't pick [one], it's similar with IPL trophies because everything is so hard-earned. I'm grateful that in 11 years, to have five trophies, it's been special for me.
A lot of credit goes to the support staff - Mo Babat, Andy Flower, Dinesh Karthik, Malolan [Rangarajan] - the way they prepared for the auction also last year and the way they set the team, the balance of it. So, again sometimes you win half the battle in the auction and they did a pretty good job. Then eventually it was on us to go out and deliver. And glad that we were able to have the hold on the trophy back-to-back.
All this wait of 18 years and then winning back-to-back trophies, this is for the RCB fans - wherever we have gone, they have supported us. And obviously for Virat as well, pretty special, right after the 18th and 19th season, having two trophies. It's amazing."
