Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar said after defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 match here on Sunday that the thinking was clear to put pressure on the bowlers and hit sixes.
After half-centuries by Tim David (70 not out) and Devdutt Padikkal (50 runs), RCB defeated CSK by 43 runs due to brilliant bowling. Patidar also played an unbeaten inning of 48 runs while Phil Salt contributed 46 runs in the beginning.
Patidar said after the match, “I feel very good after the victory.” The ball was coming with a little pause. The way Virat Kohli and Salt played was quite brilliant.
He said, “I enjoyed a lot of sixes from the non-strike end. My thinking was very clear that I had to put pressure on the bowler. Tim David is an expert and one of the best ‘finishers’. When David hit the 106 meter six, I was only looking at the ball. ”
Praising the bowlers, Patidar said, “Krunal and Suyyash are wicket-taking bowlers. Suyyash bowled four excellent overs. Whenever I am under pressure, I look towards Krunal. I have full faith in him. Now eyes are on the next match. ”
Despite Sarfaraz Khan’s 50 runs, CSK was reduced to 207 runs in 19.4 overs. For that, Prashant Veer scored 43 runs and Jamie Overton scored 37 runs. This is CSK’s third consecutive defeat.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the most successful bowler for RCB, taking three wickets for 41 runs in four overs. Jacob Duffy, Krunal Pandya and Abhinandan Singh took two wickets each. Suyyash Sharma got one wicket.
