RCB vs KKR: What Captains Said

Faf du Plessis (RCB Captain): (On the Result)It was two-paced in the first innings but the pitch became better in the chase. It was not easy batting in the first innings, and you could see that with Virat also struggling a little. We could've tried one or two things, but the way Salt-Narine batted, they pretty much took the game away. They were excellent and broke the game in the first six overs.

(On Spin Options) We've tried Maxwell and finger spinners are effective here but today there wasn't much spin. And with them having a left-right combination, spinners can find it tricky. We needed a wrist-spinner who could turn it both ways.

(On Vijaykumar Vyshak) Very good. He hasn't had a lot of opportunity. We thought of getting legspinner Karn as an Impact Sub but brought him in for his cutters. We saw Dre Russ bowled 80% of his balls as cutters, so knew that would work. Good mix-ups from Vyshak, in terms of skillset.

Shreyas Iyer (KKR Captain): (Team Performance) "We were in good shape from the previous game. Coming and hitting here felt comfortable.

(Wicket Assessment) "The way Russell executed the plan was pleasing. He showed slower ones were good here and from there on, the rest of the players picked on to execute the plan. We were spot on with that.

(Narine as opener) Narine when he comes in, he has one job that is to clear the outfield and get maximum runs. Today was a phenomenal example. We were contemplating today whether to open with him or not, but this was great.

(Nature of surface between innings) From one end, it was pretty good to bat on. From the other end, it was two-paced. It was bouncing extra. That was the communication we were having and passing it on to the batter coming next.

(Break before DC Match) We are spending a day here tomorrow and then going to Vizag. Have to see the nature of the pitch there. (Playoff Hopes?) Not expecting much. The season has just started and we have just two wins so far. We need to embrace this and enjoy each others' successes."
