RR vs RCB: RCB captain Faf du Plessis looked quite disappointed after being ruled out of IPL 2024. He has cited his batting as the real reason for the defeat against Rajasthan Royals. Let us know what else Faf said?
Under IPL 2024, Royal Challengers Bangalore had to succumb to Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator match on Wednesday night. RCB's dream of becoming champion for the first time has also been shattered after losing by 4 wickets. With this defeat, the pain of RCB captain Faf du Plessis over being out of IPL 2024 was expressed. He has cited his batting as the real reason for the defeat against Rajasthan Royals. Let us know what else Faf said?
Faf du Plessis said that due to the arrival of dew, we felt that our batting was weak. I believe we were 20 runs short. Credit to the boys who fought really well. That's all you can do. When you naturally assess the pitch and the conditions, you will find that it is a pitch with a score of 180 because the ball was swinging upwards and was also coming very slowly.
Du Plessis further said that but in this IPL season, we have found that equal scores with impressive players are not enough. Also, dew is coming. Very proud… because not many teams can reach here with 1 win out of 8. It takes a lot to come back like this in six consecutive matches. We were not special in terms of scoring an extra 20 runs with the bat.
The Rajasthan Royals elected to bowl first after winning the toss. The first team to bat, Royal Challengers Bangalore, could manage just 172 runs in the allotted 20 overs. Rajat Patidar, Mahipal Lomror, and Virat Kohli each scored 33, 34, and 32 runs for the RCB. The number 30 was unattainable for any other batsman. The goal was reached by Rajasthan Royals in just 19 overs. Riyan Parag scored thirty-six runs and Yashasvi Jaiswal forty-five runs for RR.
