"It was crazy the amount of runs that were scored today"- RCB captain Faf du Plessis after loss vs SRH in IPL 2024 encounter
At the post-match presentation, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis reflected on the action that unfolded during the match and said:
"Proper T20 wicket. It was crazy the amount of runs that were scored today. Is a world record I guess. Yeah it's tough, we have done quite a few things behind the closed doors but the different things hasn't been working. Game of cricket is difficult when the confidence is down. When you are not on top of your game, there is nowhere to hide. We have to keep trying some different things, maybe bring in leg spin in the middle overs."
Du Plessis further continued:
"Yeah I think similar from our batting perspective. We wanted to up the ante post the powerplay with the scores being put up. The boys never gave up, there is a bit of fight in us but 30-40 runs too many from the bowling perspective.
"I mean that's important, you need to go away and freshen your minds. It's a mental game and when you have defeats like this you can feel that your mind can explode. Really was an uphill task for us."
