'Losing Wickets In Clusters Never Helps In T20,' Says Karthik On RCB Loss
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik said losing wickets at regular intervals despite a dominating start from opener Virat Kohli hurt the team's chances as they went down by four wickets to Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
RCB were bowled out for 155 in 19.2 overs after being put in to bat, a total that Gujarat Titans chased down comfortably in 15.5 overs, finishing at 158/6 with 25 balls to spare.
Karthik lauded Virat Kohli’s aggressive start but admitted that regular wickets derailed the innings. “I thought Virat started wonderfully, vintage Virat. The kind of shots he played, especially in the Rabada over, were outstanding. But we lost wickets in a cluster and kept doing it. Every time we had an opportunity to get ahead or build a partnership, we lost a wicket, and that never helps in a T20 game,” Karthik said in a video released by RCB on X.
