Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch believes Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s success this IPL season is rooted in their commitment to an aggressive batting philosophy and backing their team to play to their strengths, even in comfortable situations, following their clinical win over the Lucknow Super Giants.

Chasing a modest target of 147 after a disciplined bowling effort, RCB continued to press the accelerator rather than shutting the game down conventionally. 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.

Finch pointed out that Jitesh’s approach of not holding back, even after a lean run, reflects the confidence and clarity within the RCB setup.
