RR vs RCB highlights IPL 2023: Post- Match
RR vs RCB highlights IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bowlers’ destroyed Rajasthan Royals with their bowling attack and secured 2 more points, which lifted them up in the points table as they are now on the 5th spot, and still it is unclear who is going to the playoffs, though RR and RCB have so far managed to secure 6 wins each, but RCB has slightly higher chances of qualifying for the playoffs as they have so far played 12 matches compared to RR’s 13 matches. RR needs to work on their weak areas to qualify for the playoffs, and RCB needs to strengthen their batting order more, as the team has been so far dependent on the top-order batters.
RR vs RCB highlights IPL 2023: Post-match statements
Sanju Samson on his team’s batting:
“I was just thinking seeing the batting collapse where we went wrong? I don’t think I have an answer to that yet. We all know the nature of the IPL, we’ve seen some funny things happen in the league stage. “We have to keep strong, take a day off and think about the game in Dharamshala. I think we need to end on a strong note. We have to take responsibility on the whole as a team for this performance.”

Faf Du Plessis on his team’s performance:
“Really good for our NRR. Tough pitch. We batted first and assessed the conditions. We batted in the powerplay and thought 160 will be a good score. We have had a good set up till the 15th over. But we managed to capitalize on the momentum shift at the end.”
Hopefully, we can set it up for the last game at the Chinnaswamy. Today was a good one for the team. They needed this confidence to go into the last two games.”
