The Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s head coach (RCB), Andy Flower, shared an update on the finger injury that Virat Kohli underwent in the team 2025 of the team against the Gujarat titans on Wednesday. On the fifth ball of the Chase VS RCB of GT, Sai Sudharsan hit a ball on a Krunal Pandya delivery. Virat Kohli, who was parked in the middle of the counter, injured his finger while trying to switch the ball. He crossed Kohli’s hands and moved away for four, also leaving the player in pain.
While fans were worried about the injury, the RCB Flower head coach update suggests that everything is fine. “Virat looks good, he’s fine,” said Flower at the post-match press conference.
Flower estimated that the rhythm of the Gujarat titans was heading Mohammed Siraj was his head and shoulders above the rest. He wished her all the “success” in the world while saying that the franchise is “happy” with the current team.
After the Royal Challengers chose to separate from Siraj, the experienced designer returned to his old house and was invaluable to force the hosts to go to their first defeat of the season. Siraj, considered the game player, struck at crucial moments, forced his former team to tilt to the windmills and returned with 3/19 rolating figures.
Its economical but deadly fate saw the RCB box at 169/8, a total lower than normal considering the high standards of Chinnaswamy. In response, a blitz of Jos Buttler Sai Sudharsan Jos led GT towards a comfortable 8 -counters victory. While GT has effortlessly dropped the RCB total and was a cock-a-hoop, Flower did not hesitate to praise the former Bengaluru hero after the match.
“Siraj overturned very well, isn’t it? It’s great for him to come here and do that. I thought he turned an exceptional spell with the new ball. His lines were tight, and the lengths were good. He threatened the strains,” Flower said at the post-match press conference.
The right armor threatened from the start and made early breakthroughs with Arshad Khan. The experienced speedster played in tandem with the unpaid game towards Bengaluru’s game in the power game.
After a start of sorrow with his passage with the Titans, Siraj found the groove and the rhythm for which he is very appreciated. He opened the account of his counter suddenly by the ball in Devdutt Padikkal and cleaned his stumps. He unleashed the famous celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo, marking the beginning of his domination.
In his neighbor, he tested the Speed pistol, clicked on 144 km / h and broke out through the position of Phil Salt to clean it and add another name to his column of counters. He returned to attack in the overs of death and obtained his third scalp of the day, forcing a higher edge of Liam Livingstone (54), noting the hopes of RCB to cross the 200 -point brand.
Siraj could have extended his stay in Bengaluru in a different scenario. Flower does not linger on the opportunity to keep Siraj. He said they were satisfied with their current situation.
“We all assess Siraj very strongly, and we love it. I think we have had a good auction. I wish it all the success in the world. We are satisfied with the team we have,” he added.
Aside from Siraj’s hot fate, Flower traced the moment when its side took the first step towards defeat. He underlined their aggressive approach in the PowerPlay, which turned against him and led to the loss of four counters, leaving them at 38/3. On the other hand, Flower underlined the defensive approach to which the Titans use, allowing them to have a countertop of counters towards the end.
“When they went out by continuing a total smaller than what is normal in Chinnaswamy, you can see that they were playing more carefully in PowerPlay and tried to keep the counters in hand. We played aggressively in the power game and lost four counters in the power game.
“They were very different platforms. I thought we had done very well after the power game. I think the draw was reasonably important. There was a lot of dew there. I think the dry ball had sewed the seam, and I think it was quite important in the context of the game.
