IPL 2024: 'Cricket Is Tough When Your Confidence Is Down', Says Du Plessis After Fifth Consecutive Loss
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After slumping to the fifth defeat on the trot in the IPL 2024 season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Faf du Plessis admitted that the team's confidence has taken a hit after a string of losses and remarked, "Cricket is tough when the team's confidence is low."
On Monday night, RCB suffered their sixth defeat in seven games after losing to SRH, who managed a record for the highest total in IPL history with 287/3, beating their record of 277 set against the Mumbai Indians (MI) earlier in the season.
RCB entered the match without a single specialist spinner and with Mohammad Siraj on the bench, their bowling line up looked inexperienced. They went for the off-spin of Will Jacks, who was taken for 32 in his three overs. Pace bowlers Reece Topley, Yash Dayal, Lockie Ferguson, and Vijaykumar Vyshak were belted for 137 off ten overs.
