Kohli said during the interaction with the team before the match against Chennai, "Obviously every team wants to win the IPL. I am trying to do everything that I should do. If people take my assessment with the IPL trophy in mind then I do not care about it. No such criteria have been decided. I always try to perform for the team. I try to win all the titles but sometimes it does not happen as you think and we have to admit that we can not win the IPL till now because the right decisions were not taken in under stressful circumstances.
Kohli continued his point saying, "If I start thinking like, as people think, then I will not play 5 matches and you will be seen sitting at home. I know that people are looking for an opportunity to talk about it. But I want to tell you that I have been given responsibility in the form of a captain and I want to win the IPL for my team and our entire team is ready for this season. "
