Sanjay Bangar said of RCB’s performance against PBKS, “They were in danger of being bowled out for under 50.”

Sanjay Bangar, a former RCB coach who is now a broadcaster, was dissatisfied with the other batters’ strategy even if he understood why the first two dismissals occurred. Following a lacklustre showing against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their most recent game, a rain-shortened 14-over match in which the Punjab franchise outperformed them in all three departments, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) terrible home form continues.

Since RCB could only muster 95 runs in the first innings, which PBKS eventually chased down in just 12.1 overs, many critiqued their performance. Tim David was the sole hitter the former India cricket player commended during the innings; he scored a crucial half-century to spare his side humiliation.

They were attempting to establish a high score, and in a game that was halted by rain, you don’t really know what’s enough, so a few early dismissals were reasonable. However, Livingstone and Jitesh’s exit was disappointing, and you would have expected a bit more from Krunal Pandya as well. They were in danger of getting bowled out for less than fifty runs at one stage. Bangar said exclusively on JioHotstar, “But credit to Tim David— he hung on and made a bit of a match out of it with a well-composed drift.”

The surface and location are no longer conducive to batting: Sanjay Bangar

In addition to the performances, Sanjay Bangar discussed the Chinnaswamy Stadium’s surface, which has shown to be quite helpful to the bowlers despite often being a batting haven all year long. Sanjay Bangar stated that this is no longer a batting-friendly track and that the pitch was providing a lot of extra bounce.

To be honest, they would be concerned about the types of surfaces they are receiving. The quantity of bounce that this pitch offered was unexpected. That was not anticipated. This is no longer a batting-friendly surface or location if that keeps up. To get back on track in home games, RCB might need to adjust their batting strategy, Bangar continued.
