The losing streak of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team is not stopping in the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). They also had to face defeat by 25 runs in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad team. In this match, once again poor performance was seen from the bowlers of RCB team in which Sunrisers Hyderabad, batting first, scored 287 runs in 20 overs, which became the highest score in the history of IPL. However, while chasing the target, RCB batsmen showed some struggle and managed to reach the score of 262. After the defeat in this match, RCB captain Faf du Plessis praised the batsmen for their efforts while chasing the target.
Sometimes it feels like your brain will explode
Faf du Plessis said after the defeat in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad that we have performed better batting in this match than before. This was a good wicket from the point of view of T20 cricket. We tried hard to get close to the target but 280 was a big score. We tried a few different things. When your confidence is low, you have no way to hide. The fast bowlers had to face a lot of difficulties in this match. At the same time, we still need to improve some things in our batting, in which our run rate should not decrease after the powerplay. While chasing the target, our batsmen continued to try to score runs at a fast pace and did not give up. I enjoyed watching this match, 30 to 40 runs were a bit much from the bowlers’ point of view. Sometimes you feel like your mind will explode, it is such a mental game, in such a situation you have to go away for some time so that you can completely refresh yourself and then come back with full commitment.
The path to playoffs became very difficult for RCB
Royal Challengers Bangalore team has so far won only 1 out of 7 matches in IPL 2024, which they got against Punjab Kings. Since then, the team has faced consecutive defeats in 5 matches. RCB is currently at the last position in the points table with 2 points, in which their net run rate is also -1.185, so the path to reach the playoffs has now become very difficult for them. RCB now has to play its next match on April 21 against KKR, against whom they had to face defeat by 7 wickets in the previous match this season.
