Royal Challengers Bangalore mentor Dinesh Karthik pointed out the pitch at the conference after the match as he tried to convince Delhi Capital on Thursday evening. After reaching 61 without losing the wicket, Bangalore’s innings soon scored 74/3 with the scoreboard and hit unrest. Opener Phil Salat (37) and Tim David (37 not out) were RCB’s top scorers at night as the hosts managed to score 163/7. In response, Delhi chased the target with six wickets and 13 balls in hand, thanks to KL Rahul’s 53-Secrets, 93-Run Blitz.
Necklace meant that RCB has now lost both its games at home in IPL 2025. Also against Titans in Gujarat, in his first domestic game at Chinnaswamy Stadium, RCB had managed only 169/8 batting first.
“In the first two matches, we have asked for good pitches. But it has come out in this way, where it is challenging to bat. So, we try to do the best with what we achieve. But we will clearly do a chat (curator) with him. We will trust him to do our work.” “Surely, it’s not a pitch that is helping the batsmen a lot. It is a challenging pitch. So, it is still in both sports we have played.”
Karthik also said that it was difficult for RCB batsmen to rotate the strike on the Chinnaswamy pitch.
“I think with every pitch, we will try and understand what is the best way to play. I don’t think we have a set template that we want to go out and play. It is important to understand and understand what the pitch is.
