Virat Kohli, Bangalore Royal Challengers the drummer, has urged his team to one side of the wound increased AB de Villiers and get their campaign of T20 Champions League at the track after the defeat of the Warriors opening.

"Every game is important when you have only four games," Kohli said Wednesday. "Tomorrow's game (against Kolkata Knight Riders) is important, AB is not in the team is a huge loss. I probably take more responsibility now, we just take it as a challenge. "

The Knight Riders are setting the elimination after losing their first two matches, but Kohli expected a tough match on Thursday. "I was surprised to KKR has lost two straight games, they are a full strength side when all players are fit and healthy," he said. "They are an explosive, if you let go, they can make you very ill. It will be important to put a ball under pressure. "

The Royal Challengers were in charge of his first game against the Warriors, before a late surge gave him victory by South Africa last ball. Kohli said the team had learned from this defeat. "In a T20 game, unless a team needs 15 or 16 races by the end, it really has not won, and the key is not to relax," he said. "One or two of 15 races can turn the match. The Warriors did against us, we were cruising through 10 hunting leftovers, good scraps here and there cost us the game. They get very good, Johan Botha and broke some, Ashwell Prince batted well, and Nicky Boje at the end of Wayne Parnell and helped, so you never know who will do so in a T20, so that you can never relax. "

Principal players Daniel Vettori and Dirk Nannes against the Warriors upset early, leaving the couple without local experience and Abhimanyu Mithun Aravind S in response to the pressure of bowling in the last two acquisitions. Kohli said the Royal Challengers has not designated a specialist in the death overs. "Unless someone like Malinga [Lasith] on the side can not trust anyone bowling postponements of death, you can pre-plan," he said. "So I guess we'll have only the game situation, I think it bothers a brilliant Aravind past again, only slower ball that fell short, that is not annoying to a brilliant last time."

Like the majority of games in CLT20 go in the final over, Kohli said the defeat was near positive points as well. "It's about learning all these bowlers if they are experienced in the final overs, and if they come out successfully in them, it really will help high-pressure games in the future."
