Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Faf du Plessis reflected on his team's performance after the crucial win over Gujarat Titans to move up on the points table. 

"We've been really good in the last few games, with both bat and ball. We've been unbelievable in the field as well. The wicket was a bit different, there was a bit more bounce. Wanted to make sure we take that information from the pitch and give it to the bowlers. Yes there was a dropped catch but it's the effort that we look for and that was there throughout," he said. 

The RCB captain further admitted that the batters could have calmed down after losing four as things went a bit haywire for them in the chase. 

"The games we've played here have all been high-scoring, anything around 180-190 would've been par. Was important we didn't look at the scoreboard when we went out to bat and try and play the way we play. Was a bit nervous. Probably not the best assessment from us there. Yes we wanted to go out there and get the total quickly to boost the NRR but probably when we were 4 down, we had to calm down a little bit," he added.

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill admitted that his team was short of runs as they played poor cricket in the powerplay with both bat and the ball.

“It all depends on the wicket, you see the first couple of overs. You get an idea and you play according to that. I think 170-180 on this wicket would have been a good total. I think how we batted in the powerplay and how we bowled in the powerplay, that made a difference,” Gill said.

The talented batter further revealed that they have to change their plans after losing early wickets as Vijay Shankar had to come up as an Impact Player instead of Sandeep Warrier.

“We would have an extra bowling option (had we not lost early wickets.) Never easy. It's important for us to start from zero (in the next game), need to move on. Many positives to take from this game, need to make sure we don't repeat our mistakes. It's all about winning everything we can from here on,” he added.
