‘Virat Kohli is a lovely, welcoming guy who is passionate about winning,’ says RCB all-rounder Jamieson

“He
is
a
lovely
guy.
I
have
played
against
him
a
couple
of
times
and
obviously,
he
is
quite
intense
and
quite
fierce
in
the
field.
But
off
the
park,
he
is
so
nice
and
welcoming,”
Jamieson
said
on
‘Baz
and
Izzy
Breakfast
show’ podcast
on
‘SENZ
radio’.

“He
just
loves
to
win
as
well.
He
could
be
at
it
on
the
field
and
stuff,
but
he
is
just
passionate
about
being
there,
about
winning,”
he
added.
The
26-year-old
Jamieson
was
bought
by
RCB
for
a
whopping
15
crore
at
the
auction
after
making
a
huge
impression
in
the
international
arena.

Jamieson
said
he
is
fortunate
to
be
playing
in
a
tournament
like
the
IPL,
adding
that
he
missed
out
on
the
experience
of
travelling
across
India
due
to
the
lockdown.

“It’s
good
to
see
how
different
guys
work.
We
have
got
some
good
overseas
players
in
our
group.
Pretty
fortunate
to
be
involved
in
a
tournament
like
that.”

“India
was
under
lockdown
when
I
was
there.
So
we
were
pretty
much
in
bubbles.
I
kind
of
missed
out
on
that
experience
which
is
a
shame.
Hopefully,
once
this
thing
gets
down,
I
can
get
back
there
and
get
a
taste
of
what
it’s
really
like.”

The
second
leg

the

the
increasing
number
of
COVID-19

in
India
and
multiple

in

IPL
bio-bubble,
is

to
take
