Royal Challengers Bangalore Mike Hesson said that RCB are aware of how the KL Rahul-led side operates tactically and will have to be prepared for a sluggish pitch at the Sharjah venue.
“We know their players very well from a tactical point of view and how they look to attack certain types of bowlers, but it is all about executions and it is all about the fact that they are very good. There are some very good players there and they will try to counter-attack and we will try and find a way of dealing with it,” RCB head coach Mike Hesson said.
“It’s probably equally as important that we adapt to playing at Sharjah. We know the surface and they are not going to get any quicker than they have been. We have got to make sure that we are prepared for that,” Hesson added.
In the same video, RCB’s batting consultant Sanjay Bangar said his team should focus on adapting to the conditions, rather than looking at the stats.
“The scores that we are able to set, the scores that we are chasing, taking into account the conditions at all three venues, it has been a very low scoring IPL so far. We have to assess the conditions and that is one of the goals of our batting unit as to take the conditions into the equation and not necessarily go by the stats,” RCB’s batting consultant Sanjay Bangar said.
