RCB Enters Final After Comprehensive Win Against Punjab Kings
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) entered the final of IPL 2025 following their win against Punjab Kings in the first qualifier. The team put up a quality performance and is now on the cusp of claiming the title. This win is a continuation of RCB's good form this season.
Captain Rajat Patidar Expresses Gratitude and Posts Confidence
After the victory, the captain Rajat Patidar interacted with the media. He appreciated RCB fans for their support at all the venues. He explained that the team is optimistic towards winning the final and urged fans to celebrate the journey as well.
"Just one game remaining. Let's have a celebration together," he said.
RCB's Bowling Strategy Worked Well
Patidar recounted how the bowlers strategized their bowling against Punjab. He stated that the fast bowlers exploited the surface well. He also commended spinner Suyash on his line and length discipline.
"Suyash does not set his target for wickets directly. That is his positive point. Batters are unable to read him," he added. "I assist him on the field but don't confuse him. I encourage him even if he gives runs."
Phil Salt's Batting Praised
Patidar also pointed to Phil Salt's contribution to the success of RCB. He lauded Salt's consistent batting and aggressive batting starts.
"Phil Salt has performed well in all the games. He gives us a good start every time. I like his batting," Patidar stated.
Last Words from the Skipper
He said he was proud of the team's tireless efforts and togetherness during the tournament. He also added that it is like a home game every time they play since the fans are always behind them.
"Whether it is Chinnaswamy or other stadiums, the crowd always supports us," Patidar concluded.
