Indian Premier League 2024: Former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra believes that Royal Challengers Bangalore (rcb) Sunil Narine in the tenth match of the ongoing IPL 2024 played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 29 (Sunil Narine), due to which they had to face a 7-wicket defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Aakash Chopra further said that Virat Kohli scored 83 runs in 59 balls, while KKR had scored 85 runs in 5.5 overs, so this shows how fast they had started. The cricket expert also said that the KKR batsmen thrashed the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowlers.

RCB could not plan properly against Sunil Narine: Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra said that RCB bowlers needed to bowl bouncers and yorkers repeatedly against Sunil Narine, in which they were not successful and they had to bear the brunt of this with a seven-wicket defeat against KKR.

Aakash Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel: “When Sunil Narayan opens, the blueprint is very clear – ‘Either I will be there or you will be there’. He plays in the same style, tries to hit sixes. Everyone knows that to stop them you need to bowl bouncers and yorkers again and again, but if you are not successful in it, like Bengaluru did not get success in the first six overs, then they take the match out of your control. Takes away.”

All the bowlers of RCB were beaten badly

He added, “He was also accompanied by Phil Salt. Phil Salt had given away 18 runs in the very first over. He was fantastic. To put things in context, the opposition bowled well, but Virat Kohli took 59 balls to reach 83 runs and Kolkata had already scored 85 runs in 5.5 overs. Be it Alzarri Joseph, Mohammad Siraj or Yash Dayal, everyone was beaten badly.”
