Du Plessis emphasised the need for improvement and learning from these mistakes. The captain’s focus is on enhancing team performance for future matches.
Virat Kohli‘s spectacular 92 off 47 deliveries, combined with a united bowling performance, propelled RCB to a commanding 60-run victory over Punjab Kings at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Thursday.
This crucial win keeps RCB’s playoff aspirations alive, marking their fourth successive triumph. Unfortunately, Punjab Kings now joins Mumbai Indians as the second team to be eliminated from the tournament.

“With a bit of luck is also required. We had a few guys looking for wickets and runs at the start of the tournament. The boys have shown character to turn it around. Everyone has chipped in with runs and the bowlers are taking wickets.
