The head coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sanjay Bangar, said that his team lost in every way. At Eden Gardens, the Kolkata Knight Riders beat RCB by 81 runs to move up in the 2023 IPL standings.
Bangar said after the game that KKR took the game away from RCB and played better than them in every way. In the first innings, KKR scored 204/7 and bowled out RCB for 123 runs in 17.4 overs.
“In every part of the game, we lost to them.” “They just took the game away from us, and we couldn’t hit anything,” Bangar said.
He said that RCB got lost in the middle overs and that KKR’s bowlers, Varun Chakravarthy, and Sunil Narine, did a great job. Chakravarthy got rid of 4 batters, and Narine got rid of the two best batsmen, Virat Kohli and Shahbaz Ahmed.
“This is a good place to chase.” The pitch was uneven, but the bowlers could play their shots until the end, so it’s all about keeping wickets in hand. And there is the pressure when you want to get a score of over 200. We got off to a great start, but then Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine put pressure on us. “We got lost in the middle overs,” Bangar said.
The former India bowler said that impact players were the future of cricket when he talked about how they were being used.
“You don’t have to use the impact player.” But this makes the game more interesting. It has become more interesting, and this is where cricket is going. Bangar said, “The team will get smarter the more they use the star player.”
After falling badly to KKR, RCB will focus on KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants. On April 10, the two teams will play each other at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
