Very well fought, very well contested: Sanjay Bangar

Despite the RCB bowlers stringing together another decent show in the middle overs that would intensify the chase despite the numbers on the board being fairly modest, the end result was not supposed to be bound RCB’s way.

The head coach of RCB, Sanjay Bangar opened up about what happened in the middle. He said, “It was such a close game because all three phases if you see, the game was fought for close margins.”

He would further continue, “A couple of chances actually didn’t go our way. The way Wani’s ball missed Miller’s stump by millimeters or for that matter, even Siraj’s yorker or a LBW shout that was turned down against Tewatia. A couple of efforts in the field as well where we probably could have stopped a few more runs or could have scored 7-10 runs more. I think it’s a game of small margins.”

Bangar would also acknowledge the fighting spirits of his wards as he said, “Very well fought, very well contested game and we will take a lot of heart out of it and a lot of confidence out of it.”

He would conclude by saying, “We would look at the game holistically rather than thinking of departments. All three departments if you would see, we have certain areas to step up. How can we get 10 runs more? How can we stop 6 runs in the field? Or could we have done anything different from a bowling perspective? Those are the things that we would review and we will work to improve upon them in the next game.”
