Faf Duplessis: Watch what captain Duplessis had to say about RCB's win after the match

RCB vs MI, IPL 2023: Speaking after the win against Mumbai Indians, RCB captain Faf Duplessis shared some thoughts. Rohit Sharma also expressed sadness.

In the fifth match of IPL 2023 held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Royal Challengers Bangalore team had a great victory against Mumbai Indians. Virat Kohli-Faf Duplessis, who shone in the batting, gave victory by 8 wickets to the team.

Speaking about the team's victory after the match, RCB captain Faf Duplessis shared some ideas. We had a good start in bowling. Mainly in the power play, Mohammad Siraj kept the opposition in check. He said that he could have bowled better in the last 2-3 overs.

In the second innings, we knew how to chase runs. We did it as expected. If the bowlers took off their faces and bowled, it would be difficult for the batters. Spinners had some success here - Faf Duplessis.
This is my first match at home, and I am happy to play with a special player like Virat Kohli. His energy is amazing. When you are with Youngsters, you also get a boost. We are all confident. "This win is big for us," Faf said.

Rohit Sharma, captain of the losing team, said that our start in the first six overs was not great. But, later Tilak Rama and some batters put in a lot of effort. He said that bowling did not go according to plan.

This pitch helped the batters more. Tilak Verma is a positive player, a talented player. Some of the shots he hit were amazing. Hats off to Tilak for helping us raise the challenging amount. We did not set a target according to this pitch. We didn't even play half to our strengths - Rohit Sharma.

For the last 6-8 months I have been trying to play without Jasprit Bumrah. Injuries are out of our hands. We can't do anything about it. Other players are also talented. They should be supported. This is only the first game of the season. Rohit said that there are many more matches ahead and we are looking forward to them.

Batting first in this match, Mumbai Indians scored 171 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs with the help of Tilak Verma's unbeaten 84 runs. Chasing the target, RCB scored 172 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 16.2 overs with the help of Virat Kohli's unbeaten 82 and Fop Duplessis' 73 runs to win by 8 wickets.
