RCB coach Sanjay Bangar later informed how someone like Kohli is always keen on contributing not only with the bat but with fielding as well even after scoring back-to-back hundreds for his team. Bangar also gave an update on Kohli's injury suggesting it is not a major concern. (IPL 2023: Mohun Bagan Slams KKR Management After Fans Denied Entry At Eden Gardens Due To THIS Reason)


"Yeah, he had a bit of a niggle in his knee. But I don't think there is anything serious. Having scored two back-to-back hundreds within a gap of 4 days. He is somebody who not only wants to contribute with the bat but even when he is fielding. He did a lot of running around. 40 overs a couple of days ago and today, for 35 overs he was on the field. He was giving his best. So it is going to bother at some point but I don't think it's anything serious," Bangar said as quoted by Cricbuzz.
