IPL 2025: My Job Is To Be Aggressive And Take Pressure Off The Team, Says Salt On Opening With Kohli
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Phil Salt has opened up about his partnership with Virat Kohli at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), revealing that the franchise was very clear about his role when they secured him in the IPL 2025 auction.
Following the departure of former captain Faf du Plessis, RCB needed a new opening partner for Kohli, and Salt was identified as the ideal fit. The English wicketkeeper-batter has played a crucial role in RCB’s opening two matches, adopting an aggressive approach to allow Kohli to settle into his innings. During their win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk on Friday, the duo added 45 runs in just five overs, setting a strong foundation. Despite Kohli struggling to accelerate early on, Salt took charge, executing his role to perfection.
