The IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore has made a huge comeback in the IPL 2024 after losing 7 games on a trot and yesterday it registered the successive fourth victory in the tournament in the match against Punjab Kings.
RCB defeated PBKS by 60 runs as the former put up a total of 241/7 on the scoreboard but the latter could manage only 181 as the whole team got out by the 17th over of their innings. Virat Kohli was adjudged as the Player of the Match because of his superb knock of 92 runs and after the match, the RCB skipper talked about the change in strategy that they have brought for RCB turnaround.
Faf du Plessis said, “It was a really good game, we scored 240 after losing the toss. The method and the aggression are good to see.”
He further said, “Had some good conversations about making the same mistakes again and again. We changed our method and how we approached the game. Aggression with the bat was one of those. With the ball, we didn’t take enough wickets in the powerplay, so we spoke about that.”
He concluded by saying, “We needed a bit of form on our side, too. We had a few guys looking for runs and wickets. You fight for that and have to find a way. If you look now there are a few guys in really good form. We want to stick to the style of play that we want to do, if we do that we’ll prove we are a really good team.”
RCB is currently at the seventh position in the points table with 5 wins in 12 matches and their hopes of playing in the play-offs are still alive.
