Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli sent a message to the team's fans ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League auction.
In a video tweeted by RCB, Kohli assured fans that the franchise is going to cover all bases and build a strong team for the 2020 season.
"As you all know for the upcoming season the auctions are coming up and I want all of you to rally behind the team, the management group, Mike (Hesson) and Simon (Katich) are doing a tremendous job," he said.
