A brisk cameo from skipper Rajat Patidar set the tone, while Jitesh Sharma played a fearless knock of 23 off nine balls, his first double-digit score of the season despite a string of low returns earlier. Finishers Tim David and Romario Shepherd then wrapped up the chase with unbeaten cameos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finch pointed out that Jitesh\u2019s approach of not holding back, even after a lean run, reflects the confidence and clarity within the RCB setup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"That's just a batting unit with a lot of confidence. You can see the gap between the teams on the top of the table and the bottom. That was again evident today. They go with a similar structure on how they go about their run-chases. They go hard even when the game (is in their grasp),\" Finch told ESPNCricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Highlighting the team\u2019s refusal to deviate from their attacking template, Finch said RCB\u2019s batters are committed to finishing games on their own terms rather than playing it safe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"That's just a batting unit with a lot of confidence.

(Team-mates might feel that) If someone is prepared to just knock it around and look out for themselves, then, next time they might do that too because they're worried about next year's contract. That's how [team] cultures crumble so quickly. The fact that they went out and did what they talked about - brilliant,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
