Roy\u2019s good time in IPL 2026 continued when he took out Pathum Nissanka (50) and Tristan Stubbs (2) in the same over, while taking a brilliant catch of captain Axar Patel to play a vital hand in KKR getting their fourth straight win with an eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals last week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cFielding gives you confidence to perform, both in batting and bowling. If the fielding is good, you get a different kind of confidence from within while bowling. So for me, it is extremely important and really helps my performance,\u201d Roy said in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters, ahead of their clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On sharing the spin bowling unit with Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy, Roy added, \u201cI get to learn a lot, things like what field positions to take in the Powerplay, how to bowl, how much variation to use, what kind of seam ball to bowl.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI keep discussing all these things with Sunil Narine and Varun bhai. We also talk about how to bowl between the (7\u201115 overs) and how to use fielders, what kind of deliveries to bowl. We keep having these discussions among ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Asked about Chakravarthy\u2019s availability, especially with the wrist spinner seen limping while bowling in New Delhi, Roy said, \u201cI don\u2019t have an idea about that yet, but we will get to know after the toss, around toss time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
