Sehwag revealed that since Delhi had a lot of top -order batsmen, he chose Sangwan.

“It was not on the auction table. I was there. We also had Gautam Gambhir, Shikhar Dhawan, Dilshan, AB de Villiers. There were many openers and top-order batsmen. We had a lot of batsmen, but we had no bowlers. Bowlers who did well for us in the first three sessions,” Said “Said.

On Sunday, Kohli helped RCB win at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Kohli collected 10 IPL innings against Delhi Capital on Sunday in his sixth sixth sixth century in the sixth sixth century, helping RCB to maintain their unbeaten run away from home.

“It was a top win, especially looking at the surface. We watched some games here and played this wicket differently than those. Whenever someone chases, I keep checking with a dugout, whether we are definitely,” Kohli, who played a second-fan for Krunal Pandya, said after victory.
