The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) moved to third place on the IPL points table following their comprehensive 9-wicket victory over the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Sunday.
Following the dominant win, RCB captain Rajat Patidar showered praise on his side’s bowlers, who gave a brilliant performance, especially in the powerplay.
“It was really amazing. The way the bowlers executed their plans, it’s nice to see. (Target in mind?) I don’t think so. The way we bowled in the powerplay, that was really special. The wicket wasn’t easy to bat. We were targeting 150-170,” Patidar said.
Patidar further stated that his side’s bowling attack gives him a lot of confidence as they make his job a lot easier.
“I get my confidence from my bowlers. They are ready to bowl at any surface and at any stage, that’s amazing and gives a lot of confidence for me,” Patidar said.
The skipper also didn’t forget to mention the duo of Phil Salt and Virat Kohli, both of whom scored sensational fifties and guided RCB to the target of 174.
“(On Salt) I really enjoyed his batting from the dug-out. The way he was striking and at the same time VK rotating the strike, it was really special. We always look to play positive and good cricket,” Patidar said.
The Bengaluru-based franchise will be looking to maintain this form in their upcoming match of the season which will be against the Punjab Kings on April 18.
