Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Mumbai Indians in the fifth match of IPL 2023 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday. Virat Kohli(82*)-Faf Duplessis(73) who shone in the batting gave a good start and gave the team victory by 8 wickets.
After the match, RCB captain Faf Duplessis said about the team’s victory..’We got a good start in bowling. Mohammed Siraj controlled the opposition mainly in the power play. He bowled better in his last 2-3 overs.
“We obviously know how to chase runs in the second innings. We did as planned. If the pace bowlers bowl, it will be difficult for the batsmen. Spinners have had some success here. As a result, the team secured victory in our first match of the 16th season of IPL’ said Faf Duplessis.
Also, ‘This is our first match in the 16th season of IPL. Happy to play with a special player like Virat Kohli. His power is incredible. When we have youngsters in the team, we also get a boost. We are all confident. This win is big for us,” said the RCB captain.
Speaking later, Rohit said that in the first six overs, their start was not great and they lost. But Tilak, who came later, said that some of the batsmen had put in a lot of effort, but the bowling did not go according to plan.
This pitch is more useful for the batters. Tilak Verma is a positive player, a talented player. Some of the shots he hit were amazing. Hats off to Tilak for helping us increase the challenging amount. We didn’t set a target on this pitch. Rohit Sharma said that we did not play even half to our strengths.
“For the last 6-8 months I have been trying to play without Jasprit Bumrah. The wounds are not in our hands. We can’t do anything about it. Other players are also talented. They should be supported. This is only the first game of the season. There are many more matches. We are waiting for them’ said Rohit.
Mumbai Indians who batted first in this match scored 171 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs as Tilak Verma scored an unbeaten 84 runs. RCB scored 172 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 16.2 overs.
