Kohli highlights the significance of a strong technical foundation in helping players navigate tough career phases, citing Bhuvneshwar as a prime example. Players with solid basics, according to Kohli, can adapt and excel even in challenging times, evident in Bhuvneshwar’s remarkable performances.
Bhuvneshwar’s exceptional form has been pivotal in RCB’s successful IPL 2026 journey, with Bengaluru leading the points table with 16 points from 12 matches and poised to secure a playoff spot.
