Coach's words of encouragement

Head coach Andy Flower consoled the disappointed dressing room, urging reflection for a strong comeback. Despite RCB's valiant effort, with Faf du Plessis and Dinesh Karthik's exceptional innings, they still face their 6th loss in 7 matches. RCB sits at the bottom of the IPL 2024 table, needing a remarkable turnaround for playoff hopes.

Speaking to the dejected players, Flower acknowledged the tough night but emphasized the team's resilience. "It's obviously knock-out time. Every game is a semi-final for us," he said. Flower also praised Karthik's standout performance, suggesting he's making a case for the T20 World Cup.

In summary, RCB's defeat was historic, marked by a record total and a need for drastic improvement. Coach Flower's words aim to inspire a resurgence for the struggling team.
