Speaking after the toss, which he had won, Du Plessis was greeted with a big cheer and first admitted that he couldn’t hear anything as it was too loud. The RCB skipper would say that they would bat first on the day and felt that their fans travel with them everywhere they go. Du Plessis said that they would be aiming to put pressure on the SRH batters, who had scored the highest total in IPL history the last time these two sides met.
RCB decided to go with an unchanged team for the match. SRH made one change to their side with Jaydev Unadkat for Washington Sundar.
“We are gonna bat first. We feel like our fans go with us everywhere. These boys have been playing some amazing cricket, hopefully we can put some scoreboard pressure on them. We fought really hard in the last game. Same team,” said Du Plessis.
A fan video has shown that the RCB faithful have turned up for the match on Thursday in big numbers.
