"A lot of people wrote us off last season saying we would get nowhere near the top four and we proved them wrong. I definitely think we'll be up there challenging, that's where we want to be and we have to set that standard," the club's official website quoted Mount as saying.

"Everyone is always going to talk about Man City and Liverpool and what they did last season, especially Liverpool, but now we'll see if they can do it again. We're going to be up there and doing our best to push because we also want to be number one," he added. Also Read | Virat Kohli’s Shorts in Focus As Yuzvendra Chahal, Kevin Pietersen Comment on RCB Captain’s Workout Video Ahead of IPL 2020 Match Against KXIP.
