No pressure in bowling to Virat, we will do what we can to stop him, says Sandeep Sharma

KINGS XI PUNJAB PACER Sandeep Sharma said his side is undaunted by the prospect of bowling to the in-form Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli. As reported by PTI, the seamer said,

“We all admire him. We watched the match (RCB vs Rising Pune Supergiants) on the ground (on giant screen) when he was batting. He is a legendary cricketer. Seeing him play in front of you and bowling to him is a pleasure. He is a legendary cricketer. There is no pressure as such regarding bowling to him. We will do what we have been doing.”

Despite beating Delhi Daredevils, the Punjab franchise is languishing at the bottom of the points table with just six points from nine games. The right-arm seamer conceded that it was the need of the hour to perform consistently and keep winning games to remain in contention for the top four spot.

Ahead of their match against RCB, the 22-year-old said,

 “We are not thinking about the tournament whether we have to qualify or where we stand in the points table. Most important thing is that we approach every single match and take it further from there. If we play good cricket, then naturally we will go up in the points table. But important thing is to focus on the next game."
