Our batsmen should have avoided playing big shots against KKR spinners: Bangar

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes experienced batsmen like Virat Kohli and skipper Faf du Plessis will be able to chase down a mammoth target of 205 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) spinners in an Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 match. Could have exercised some restraint while chasing. After scoring 204 for seven, KKR bowled out Royal Challengers Bangalore for 123 to register a massive 81-run win.

Chasing the target, Kohli was bowled by Sunil Narine in the fifth over of the match to break his 44-run opening partnership with du Plessis. After this, Varun Chakraborty bowled du Plessis and pushed the Bangalore team to the backfoot. Bangar said in the press conference after the match, “I felt that some of our batsmen could have avoided playing big shots. We will talk to the players on this issue. T20 is a short format of the game and here you lose the rhythm very quickly. “Bangar said,” Many of our batsmen were caught by the spinners and the ball hit the inside edge of their bat or passed near it. We probably made a mistake in playing the spinners under pressure.

KKR’s spin trio of Narine (2/16), Chakraborty (4/15) and debutant Suyash Sharma (3/30) shared nine wickets. Bangar said that to deal with the elusive spinners like Narine and Chakraborty, the batsmen should play from the front. “You should try and play forward as much as possible. If you play ‘square’ even a little, it can be risky. Playing straight is very important. We can learn from this.
