The astonishing win over LSG in Lucknow also made RCB the first-ever IPL team to win all seven away matches in an IPL season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"This year we have gotten to the playoffs. Not just playoffs, but second place. Most importantly, I think this room believes there is a bigger goal. And for that we need to stay calm. Any one of you in the playing 12 can do exactly what Jitesh Sharma did.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It's about manifesting that you're the one when you walk into that game day after, and knowing that whoever is doing it on that day, has the backing and belief of us. All I want to say is remember the bigger goal. We have bigger things to play for. And let's make sure it happens this year,\u201d said Karthik in a message to the team, posted on the franchise\u2019s social media accounts on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Director of Cricket Mo Bobat further reflected on the side\u2019s milestones achieved in their win over LSG and stressed on what the mindset should be moving forward, as RCB will now meet table-toppers Punjab Kings in the Qualifier 1 at Mullanpur on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"If we look at some of the things we've ticked off, seven out of seven away wins, we should be really proud of that. It's not been done before. Our highest ever chase, third highest ever IPL chase, some significant achievements there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Teams that go on and win things tick off these sorts of milestones, do special things, break records, so well done. We should be proud of all that. And as DK said, we've achieved that goal we set ourselves initially, a top two finish. We said that a few weeks back and we've done it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"If we look at some of the things we've ticked off, seven out of seven away wins, we should be really proud of that. It's not been done before. Our highest ever chase, third highest ever IPL chase, some significant achievements there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
