Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 19 (ANI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru ( RCB ) captain Rajat Patidar acknowledged that their batting performance was not up to par, with wickets falling quickly and a lack of partnerships.
He attributed the decision to leave Paddikal to the conditions favouring the bowlers. Despite the pitch, Patidar emphasised the need for the team to bat better and achieve a winning total.
He praised the bowling section for their robust display and the batsmen’s aggression, acknowledging the necessity of correcting issues within the batting lineup.
"At first, it was sticky and slow-paced, yet we believed we could improve significantly as a batting group. Building partnerships is crucial; we've experienced rapid dismissals, which taught us an essential lesson. Due to specific circumstances (excluding Paddyal), adjustments were necessary. Although the pitch wasn’t terrible, it remained covered for quite some time, aiding their bowlers. They deserve credit for this. Regardless of the pitch’s condition, we must focus on scoring sufficiently to win. Our bowling team has been performing admirably, which is highly encouraging. It’s also heartening to see the batsmen approach play purposefully. There are areas within the batting lineup where improvements can be made,” Rajat Patidar stated during the post-game review.
