Mo Bobat reveals the mindset that powered RCB’s back-to-back IPL glory
Speaking about his role during the tournament, Bobat said his main focus was to keep the team hungry and push them to finish in the top two of the league stage. He stressed that winning one title was not the end goal and that the team should always keep improving and inspiring fans.

Bobat was quoted as saying by PTI in Ahmedabad, “I always had it in my mind that once we won that first one (title), we needed to not settle for that, because like any sports team, you want to have almost like a bit of an infinite goal that you’re just always striving towards achieving something that constantly inspires your fans.”
He added, “From the moment we finished last season, we’ve tried to push people to be ambitious about going again. Across both seasons, I’ve probably been personally quite keen and fixed on trying to achieve top two, and if you can put yourself in a position to finish top two, everybody knows historically what that means for your chances.”
