What went wrong?

Bengaluru Bulls head coach BC Ramesh spoke about what went wrong for his side in this game and said, “There were a few mistakes in defence as well, and after taking an eight-point lead, we were not able to save it. Our defenders made too many mistakes, allowing Bhavani Rajput to score points repeatedly.”

“Their team’s morale was low, but after taking those points, they gained some confidence and took the lead. In the final stages, we played according to our plan and made substitutions based on the situation. Ali Reza played well. Because of that, the match was tied, and then we were not lucky in the end,” he added.

Skipper Yogesh Dahiya also spoke about the same and said, “See, the strategy was that we would take the fifth raid and play on the golden raid, but that was a little mistake on our part, and on that last raid, so we made a mistake with the bonus.”

UP Yoddhas assistant coach Upendra Malik shared his views on the win and said, “I think the morale of the team is enhanced after getting a winning streak. We have won two out of the last two to three matches, but even in the one we lost before that, the team’s confidence was visible

“Mistakes happen, and today, the situation was such that the match could have gone anywhere. This kind of victory is possible only when you have faith in yourself and your teammates. We have to face all the tough situations, but it was great to win in the end.”
