Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar opined that RCB changed when Virat Kohli at the top, started batting quicker and stopped making himself indispensable. He noted that Kohli initially didn't trust batters down the order. Manjrekar said Kohli's strike rate has gone up from 125-130 to over 150 this IPL season as pressure was mounting on him over his slow innings.
