RCB have registered four wins from six matches so far, but suffered a six-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals last week at home. \u201cIt\u2019s a home venue in terms of city and stadium, but we don\u2019t have much influence on the pitch. So it\u2019s about the players assessing conditions quickly and adapting; that\u2019s a key part of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe want to play aggressive cricket with the bat and ball. More importantly, we want to be brave, especially in moments when the game is on the line. If we can do that consistently, the results will take care of themselves,\u201d Bobat said in the pre-match press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking of GT, who came into the match after suffering a heavy 99-run defeat to the Mumbai Indians, Bobat stated, \u201cThey\u2019re a team we respect a lot; they\u2019ve been consistent performers over the years. We don\u2019t spend too much time categorising opposition. Our focus is on preparing well, understanding matchups, and executing our plans.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the team\u2019s position on the points table, Bobat said, \u201cIt\u2019s pleasing to have four wins, but what\u2019s been most encouraging is that in most games we\u2019ve played the way we want to play. That\u2019s how we judge ourselves. The table is still tight, so we\u2019re not looking too far ahead; we\u2019re focused on the next game.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

On the team\u2019s preparation during a short break, Bobat said recovery and team bonding were key. \u201cIt was good to have a bit of space after the last game to relax and recover. We also got some valuable time with players who haven\u2019t had much game time, which is important. Apart from that, it\u2019s been a normal build-up leading into this match.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
