BCCI
Yuzvendra Chahal is of the belief that Royal Challengers Bangalore still have an outright chance to make it to the play-offs of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. Chahal also said that the RCB unit could not perform as a team and he didn’t want to blame wither batting or bowling.
After losing six out of their first six games in the 12th edition of the league, RCB
"We are six down, but we still have an outright chance to qualify for the playoffs. If you remember in 2016, when we played in final, we were in the same kind of situation. We needed to win six out of seven games. We need to believe in our skills and hopefully, the turnaround for us will start from tomorrow," Chahal was quoted as saying by TOI.
Speaking about the break after their loss against Delhi Capitals, Chahal said, "It was a much-needed break for us. As a team we regrouped and we discussed everything minutely, either it is batting, bowling or fielding. Tomorrow is an important game for us we need to win it to stay alive in the tournament.”
Chahal chose not to blame either of the bowling or batting departments of the team for their terrible run in the ongoing edition of the league. The leggie also said that all the eleven players need to perform for the team to do well.
"I am not going to blame batting or bowling. I think as a team we haven't clicked, we are not playing as a team. Sometimes our batting is not working and at times the bowling. We need to understand that it is not an individual game, you can't depend upon a couple of players. All the eleven players need to step up," explained the leg-spinner.
"We need to improve in our death bowling as well. It is a big issue for us. We are bowling well till the 16th over. We need to finish well. We are a settled squad. There is no question about it. We want Virat (Kohli) and AB (de Villiers) to play as much as possible. We change the top order according to the situation of the game."
Speaking about the umpiring errors in the league so far, Chahal said, “It is just a human error, you can’t blame umpires for this. They are also human beings.”
