Venkatesh Iyer Trades KKR Loyalty for RCB Team-First Grind

Venkatesh Iyer didn't blink moving from KKR to RCB. He's cool with bench time. Defending champs don't need heroes every game. He praises Mo Bobat's setup and Rajat Patidar's lead. Virat Kohli brings that edge, always.

KKR chased 156 at Eden to beat RR by four wickets. RCB posted 175 at Chinnaswamy, lost by six to DC. Iyer's economy in limited overs stays solid. Duty trumps sentiment. He left KKR on good terms. No tears.

IPL lads grow up fast. Emotional pulls fade against pay packets and silverware. Iyer gets it. Support the machine. Grab chances when they come. RCB staff keeps him sharp. Patidar trusts the pecking order. Maturity, plain.
