ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE BEAT DELHI CAPITALS BY 16 RUNS

PLAYER OF THE MATCH – DINESH KARTHIK 66 (34)

WHAT THE CAPTAINS SAID

Faf du Plessis: Batting [first] again was a little tricky. But Maxi [Glenn Maxwell] put the pressure back on them. But then two guys in form did well for us. Today was a bit about some planning. We haven’t been as good as we would have wanted at death. The bowlers were fantastic today. Most teams can fall away quickly seeing so much of dew. But we stuck to our plans. Nice thing to have experience. When it is going well or not, you can reinforce the trust. DK [Dinesh Karthik] is in the form of his life. Obviously lucky to have him in our side. I would like to have guys tell me before the game if there would be dew or not. Maybe on tired wickets we will bat first.

Rishabh Pant: I think [David] Warner batted beautifully and gave us every chance to win the match. Cannot blame [Mitchell] Marsh. It was his first match and looked a bit rusty, but we could have done better in the middle overs. The wicket got better and better as the innings went along. That over from Mustafizur [Rahman] was a game-changer for us. I think we could bowl according to our plans, but we were under the pump. The way DK [Dinesh Karthik] batted in the later overs was commendable. One boundary length was shorter and every batter was targeting it, so I changed Kuldeep’s [Yadav] end and he bowled really well.

Dinesh Karthik: I must admit that I have a bigger goal. I have been working really hard. I have been trying to do everything to be a part of the Indian team. I respected Kuldeep [Yadav] as he was bowling well. When you are batting at the death, you try and get under the ball more while hitting. You make me sound like a serial killer (when asked about how he maintains his composure while hitting the ball so hard). I must admit positions and calmness come from preparation. Apart from that staying in the moment sounds cliched but it works. He [Shahbaz Ahmed] is a very special player, I am very sure he is going to do special things. He can hit a ball a long way. He backs himself which I like about him.

MATCH PREVIEW

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be hoping to return to winning ways when it meets Delhi Capitals in an Indian Premier League clash at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

After three consecutive wins, RCB was defeated by Chennai Super Kings in its last outing, and ahead of a key game, the team, led by Faf du Plessis this season, will have to regroup.

With Harshal Patel likely to be available for selection, RCB’s pace bowling department will be bolstered. Harshal has been a vital cog in the wheel for RCB, adding value with his variations and the ability to bowl in the death overs, and his return will be a boost.

In batting, the team will depend on captain du Plessis and Anuj Rawat for a brisk start, while the middle order would revolve around Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed. Virat Kohli has a couple of 40-plus scores, but he has lacked the consistency; the team will expect runs from him for this game.

The Capitals come into the fixture on the back of a convincing win against Kolkata Knight Riders, and its bowling unit looks potent and well-oiled. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav is the top wicket-taker with 10 scalps, while pacer Khaleel Ahmed has picked up seven wickets.

Prithvi Shaw’s form – he has hit two attacking half-centuries – and David Warner’s experience have ensured that there is solidity at the top. However, there have been troubles in the middle order and the team will hope for captain Rishabh Pant to step up.

Delhi physio Patrick Farhart, meanwhile, has tested positive for COVID-19 and is being monitored by the medical team.
