RCB Captain Faf du Plessis Throws Siraj And Co Under The Bus in Cricket News

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) faced their fifth loss in six matches on Thursday, adding extra pressure on the team’s batters to score over 200 runs consistently. Faf du Plessis, commenting on the team’s batting performance, expressed the need to push for a score of 200, attributing it to the team’s limited bowling options. He highlighted the importance of taking early wickets in the powerplay to avoid being on the back foot.

Du Plessis felt that RCB fell short of a winning score and emphasized the impact of dew in the second innings, stating that the team needed to score 215-220 runs instead of 190. He recognized the challenge posed by changing conditions, particularly the impact of dew on the game. He acknowledged Jasprit Bumrah’s remarkable performance, describing how the variety in his bowling made a significant difference and likening him to the best bowler in T20 cricket.

The winning captain, Hardik Pandya, commended Bumrah’s consistent performance and highlighted Suryakumar Yadav’s contribution, praising his batting abilities and the ease with which he achieved the 197-run target. Overall, both captains recognized the challenges posed by the game’s changing conditions and the exceptional performances of certain players, underlining the importance of adapting and delivering in various situations.
