IPL has been offering something to the bowlers in the first six overs – Faf du Plessis
The Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis, at the toss, said that the surface in the IPL 2022 has been offering a lot to the bowlers in the first 6 overs and it’s a big challenge for the batters to survive. He said:
“It’s our first game here, the whole campaign it’s looked like a pretty decent surface. This year more than ever, the IPL has been offering something to the bowlers in the first six overs. That comes as a nice challenge to the batters.”
He added that a good start is crucial for the team to reach a good total. RCB skipper elaborated:
“If you can have a good start and get through it, you are going to put a nice total. The pitch has looked like a consistent batting pitch. We have to assess and play accordingly from there. For me, it’s a case of believing in the guys. As a team, you certainly don’t want to rely on one or two guys. Someone needs to put their hand up and luckily we’ve had guys who have done that consistently but also we have shared responsibilities through the team.”
