🏏IPL 2023: RCB vs KKR, 36th Match- 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 84

Nitish Rana: Last 3-4 matches I've been saying the same thing at the toss - if we play well collectively, result will be in our favour. You need a lot of character in the dressing room to give a performance like this in our situation. The belief has always been there that we'll bounce back. We wanted to put a score on the board. Felt like it would turn in the second innings because there wasn't much dew. It didn't turn a lot but we bowled well. Whenever I've spoken to him (Suyash Sharma), he has always put his hand up. He says I'll do the job. Our message to him is don't look at who is batting against you, just focus on your own bowling.

11.35pm CV Varun is the Player of the Match. He says, and this is not verbatim: That's how the game of cricket is. Last match I went for 49, today I get this award. My focus is on my accuracy, not to add variations. I have been working a lot. I would like to thank AC Prathiban and Abhishek Nayar. I would like to dedicate this to my newborn son and my wife. I will see him after the IPL.

Aww congrats to Varun for being a new father

Varun Chakaravarthy | Player of the Match: Last match I went for 49 and this match I did well. That's how crazy life is. (This year) More focused on accuracy rather than more variations. I didn't want to add more variations. I have been working a lot and I'd like to credit AC Pratheepan - he's been working for me and even Abhishek Nayar. I'd like to thank them. I like that challenge (to bowl the difficult overs) and Nitish is giving the ball whenever he wants me to do the job, I am liking it. I'd like to credit this to my new born son, still not able to see him, I'd like to dedicate it to him and my wife.

Awww❤️❤️❤️

A touching moment in the end as CV Varun so emotionally spoke about missing the birth of his son. AC Prathiban that he spoke about has played just two first-class matches and one List A game. He played in the TNPL for Trichy Warriors. He has worked on Varun's bowling a lot.

KKR have beaten RCB twice this season. Both times, they posted 200+ on the board and choked RCB with spin. They move to the seventh spot with this win while Bangalore stay put at the fifth. That's it for today. The action shifts from the Garden City to the Pink City where Rajasthan Royals will be hosting CSK, the table-toppers.

Royals chokers bangalore🫠🫠

Awwieee

Congrats Varun 👏

Good to see Virat being honest. At least he does not sound arrogant. He accepted defeat and that they deserve to lose, also the mistakes that cost them the match. Hopefully they will do better in the next match.

Dropping twice Rana cost them the match🙃
