Royal Challengers Bangalore's Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan attributed his successful spell on Wednesday night to his accuracy and the slow nature of the MA Chidambaram pitch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rashid took two wickets for 18 runs including the prized wicket of AB de Villiers, whose 48 off 27 balls on a tough wicket in the tournament opener had carried his team to a close two-wicket win over Mumbai Indians off the last ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"As a spinner, you'd love such tracks, it's slow and there's a bit of bounce, but you need to be accurate with the line and length. It's the kind of wicket where if you bowl back of a length you'll get a purchase,<\/strong>" said Rashid after the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "If you back up your strengths, you can perform on this surface,<\/strong>" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n While Rashid picked two wickets, West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder, who opened the bowling with Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three wickets for 30 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Rashid mixed his deliveries well and confused the batsmen. He got de Villiers off a shortish leg-break which the South African batsman hit straight to cover. Holder kept a tight line and got rid of Kohli off a short ball which he couldn't control.<\/p>\r\n",
