While Royal Challengers Bangalore faced their third domestic defeat with a loss of five wickets against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday night, RCB captain Rajat Patidar believes that the team needs to keep an eye on the batting unit first. The Bengaluru side could only reach a total of 95 runs in the first innings, before the Kings chased the target for the loss of five wickets in 12.1 overs. The match delayed the rain and the match was closed in 14 overs in 14 overs, the Patidar talked about the need to improve the need for the batting unit.
“Initially the pitch was pasting, and there were two-books. But I think we could perform better as a batting unit. Partnership is important. We are losing wickets in intervals. Our bowling unit is confident.
Only two Bengaluru batsman could cross the 10 -run mark in his innings with Tim David, playing an unbeaten knock of 50 runs off 26 balls, while Patidar scored 23 runs. Royal Challengers Bangalore lost their first five wickets for 33 runs, before they lost the Patidar at a score of 41 in eight overs, before the impact player Manoj Bhandage also left for LBW in the next due to the collapse of Marco Jensen. David then took Bengaluru for 95 runs in 14 overs before the Kings chased the target. “It looked so easy (on playing with back foot). I got a chance to see what the pitch is doing so I can customize. (On facing more delivery) See our coaching staff has formed a team for a certain reason, we have got batsmen for different reasons. I am happy that I can do anything, I am happy.
