The RCB skipper said that they got off to a good start in the game. But, a cluster of wickets in a small gap of overs set Bangalore at the backfoot. As per him, many would have thought RCB will end up losing the game. But, players stepped up and took the game away from the opponents.
We had a good start in the powerplay and then Yuzi bowled really well and then a cluster of wickets fell, those three wickets, it breaks your momentum. To overcome that, you really need something special and today, once again, and people probably think we should be losing that game, guys are putting up their hands and saying – today is my day. The veteran DK is so clear with his game plan at the moment. That gives us a lot of confidence

“The pants are red, the shirt is blue, the golden lion shining through, we’re RCB we are playing bold, Go to the final, on our own. A finer kit you’ll never see, a finer team there’ll never be. Those other teams, don’t bother me, from RCB I’m proud to be. A finer kit you’ll never see, a finer team there’ll never be. Those other teams, don’t bother me, I’m proud to be from RCB, RCB, RCB, RCB,” were the lyrics of the victory song as Virat Kohli and others jumped in joy to celebrate the victory.”
