Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli hailed young pacer Navdeep Saini's brilliant Super Over that helped his side win a pulsating IPL contest against Mumbai Indians on Monday. RCB defeat Mumbai Indians via Super Over after the original game was tied. Saini bowled the Super Over for RCB conceding only 7 runs and Kohli finished the game with a last ball boundary off Jasprit Bumrah. "Outstanding Super Over from him (Saini), bowling against Hardik (Pandya) and (Kieron Pollard). I think the longer boundary helped him gain some confidence with his yorker, because he has got the pace and then he was using the wide yorker well too," Kohli said at the post-match presentation

"The guys showed real good composure to get these two points in the bag and very crucial points at early stages of the tournament," Kohli added. He also credited Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard to bring Mumbai back into the game. "It was such a roller-coaster of a game. We batted well in the first innings to get us past 200 and then the start of bowling was outstanding. They played well in the middle overs, waited for the dew to kick in.......Pollard and Ishan to bat the way they did was outstanding to keep them in the game," he added.
