Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) got beaten by Mumbai Indians (MI) by 5 wickets in the ongoing IPL 2020 recently. RCB skipper Virat Kohli talked about the positives from the match.

Batting first, RCB was off to a flying start, but a collapse in the last five overs restricted them to a total of 164/6. Only 35 runs were scored in the last five overs which turned the game in MI's favor.

While defending the total, RCB couldn't stop Suryakumar Yadav who played a knock of unbeaten 79 runs to win the match. Kohli feels the team should look for the mistakes and rectify it to come back stronger.

"I think even on that kind of wicket to bowl that well for 16 overs, I think we did a really good job. Our attitude was spot on. We were not far away, especially against a top side. We are definitely going to take that confidence into the next games," Kohli said in a video posted by RCB's official Twitter handle.

"We are going to hold onto the things that we did well and make sure that in the next games, we do that for a longer period of time. We have absolutely no doubt that we are going to correct our mistakes and have really strong games," he added.

For RCB, Devdutt Padikkal played his best IPL knock and scored a good looking half-century. His 74-run innings came on just 45 deliveries.

"It was a pretty good wicket, I felt it from the beginning. We started off well but fell short of like 20 runs and it cost us. It is important that we take positives from this game and move on," Padikkal said.
