The RCB skipper had just a day earlier also said that he was happy with the way the team was getting into the groove for the tournament.

Happy with our preparations, says Kohli

The 31-year-old added that it was different to try and get back into the desired mental frame of mind because of the hiatus. Kohli, who is still to win an IPL trophy, stated that the team is getting into the groove now and he was happy with it.

Kohli, who is still to win an IPL trophy, knows how long practice sessions can carry the risk of injuries. He had emphasized that the Bangalore-based team was not training like maniacs for six consecutive days and were giving ample time to their players to recover.

"We've moved ahead in a balanced manner. We didn't want to be like a manic, doing six sessions in six days, we gave ample off time to the boys which we'll continue to do along the course of these next few training sessions also. But yeah, from a fitness point of view, everyone's looking great. Everyone's in good shape.

"It's a matter of feeling good and I think I've felt good from the first session onward. There are a few things you want to rectify along the way and once you reach your optimum mindset and you enter the competition; you want to stay in that as much as possible,» Virat Kohli, IPL’s highest run-scorer, added.
