Toss and team strategy

The captain of the Royals, Sanju Samson, won the toss and chose to bowl first, a decision that Du Plessis said he would have taken with him. Despite not winning the toss, Du Plessis expressed confidence in his team’s strategy and insisted on a strong approach.

“I was watching the game last night, there was help from the seam bowlers early on. This looks on the dry side with fake grass on top. We have had that thought until now. Focusing on your skills, being true to how you want to play. The last match against CSK was an unbelievable match. Less is more. People think that if you get to the knockout stages, you need to be Superman. It just shows the boys that you trust them. Same team,” Du Plessis commented.

RCB Playing XI: Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Siraj, Lockie Ferguson

Faf du Plessis looked very closely at the trophy and held the trophy a little while taking a picture because Faf will never hold the trophy or never see it closely since they won’t win 🤣🤣
