RCB vs LSG IPL 2024: Post-Match Presentation

Faf du Plessis (RCB Captain): Faf du Plessis said dropping the catches of Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran were the biggest cause of their defeat.

"It's a new action which you haven't faced before. It is really impressive to see his pace but more impressive was to control length and bowl with accuracy," Du Plessis said on Mayank Yadav.

"I don't think we bowled well tonight, especially in the powerplay. We gave away too many easy boundaries. You need two guys to bat through and get a partnership which we were not able to do. We need the strong characters in the dressing room to put their hand up," Du Plessis concluded.

KL Rahul (LSG Captain): "Overall a really good performance. the wicket was a bit tricky and there was some help for the seamers. Quinton got us off to a good start. We were 10-15 runs ahead of what we needed to be. One ball hit me really hard, so happy to see Mayank bowl the way he's been bowling. He's waited patiently for a year, he's working really hard, he's really professional, has a great temperament. Bowling first has been the trend in T20 cricket. If I have a look at our record, it speaks differently. The good thing I am doing is losing the toss. This is how we play our cricket. Powerplay bowling has always been a question mark, trying to fix that. We've gone spin this game, very obvious match-up against RCB which worked. We'll try find ways to get wickets in the powerplay."

Mayank Yadav (POTM): "I feel very good that I've got two player of the match award but feel better that we have won two matches. My aim is to serve the country for many years. It is just a start and I want to focus on my main goal. I liked the Cameron Green wicket. I think to bowl at speed, we need like diet, gym and training and you have to be perfect at everything. I have a massive focus on diet and recovery training as well. That is the thing that is helping at the moment."
