IPL 2025: Knew That Eight Overs Of Spin Could Drive Run Rate In Right Direction For Us, Says Flower
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Apart from Josh Hazlewood’s 4-33, the defence of 205/5 by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at their home turf M Chinnaswamy Stadium was also built on the back of superb middle-overs bowling by the spin duo of Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma.
Krunal and Suyash conceded just 62 runs across their eight overs, with the former picking up key scalps of Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana. In that period, RCB had accelerated with the bat thanks to Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal. But RR were unable to get that same result in their unsuccessful chase, thanks to Krunal and Suyash stifling the run flow.
After RCB ended their losing streak at home with an 11-run victory over Rajasthan Royals, head coach Andy Flower stated that the team think-tank knew eight overs of their spinners were going to be key to get the run-rate in their favour and keep the visitors’ on a tight leash.
