Sanjay Bangar, the head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore, claimed that his team was outplayed in every facet of the contest. To advance in the IPL 2023 standings, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated RCB at Eden Gardens by an impressive 81 runs.
Speaking after the game, Bangar claimed that KKR had outplayed RCB in every facet of the contest and had taken the game from them. RCB was dismissed for 123 runs in 17-point four overs after KKR scored 204/7 in the opening innings.
“All aspects of the game were outplayed by us. Nothing worked out for us at the plate, and they simply took the game away from us,” said Bangar.
“The pitch was a little bit two-paced” – Sanjay Bangar
In addition, Sanjay Bangar praised KKR spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine while claiming that RCB lost their focus in the middle overs. The in-form Virat Kohli and Shahbaz Ahmed were bowled out by Narine, who also took four wickets.
“This is a good hunting area. The pitch was a little bit two-paced, but as the game came to a close. The batters were able to play their shots, so it’s all about holding onto your wickets. There is pressure when trying to reach a score of 200 or higher. We had a great start, but Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine intervened and put pressure on us. We got off track in the middle overs,” Bangar continued.
The former India batter referred to the introduction of impact players as the future of cricket when discussing it.
“Using the impact player is optional. However, the game gains a new dimension as a result. This is the future of cricket because it has become more dynamic. The more the team utilizes the impact player, the more knowledgeable they will become,” according to Bangar.
The Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore will square off on April 10 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after RCB lost to KKR significantly.
