We knew dew would be a factor, we might have needed to make 250+, but they made 196 look very less.
You know when there's dew coming, you'll have to bat big, the ball was very wet, it was changed a few times and the bowlers struggled.
Everytime you see him with the ball in his hand (on Jasprit Bumrah), you think you'll have to put him under pressure.
But he has so many skills, bowls well under pressure, he bowls with the same action and has a lot of variations.

IPL Live Score 2024 MI vs RCB, Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Faf du Plessis looks a little shaken at the end of all that. Here is what he said: “It's a tough pill to swallow - combination of two things, very wet (the conditions with dew), I need to somehow win some tosses, secondly, they played really well, put the pressure on us and we made a lot of mistakes (especially during the powerplay). We knew dew would be a factor, we might have needed to make 250+, but they made 196 look very less. You know when there's dew coming, you'll have to bat big, the ball was very wet, it was changed a few times and the bowlers struggled. We also lost a few moments and were going well when myself and Patidar were going, but they did come back well. Everytime you see him with the ball in his hand (on Jasprit Bumrah), you think you'll have to put him under pressure. But he has so many skills, bowls well under pressure, he bowls with the same action and has a lot of variations. I think he has become even better under the guidance of Lasith Malinga. We would have loved if he was part of our team (smiles). We will have to find ways with the bat, get those big scores, we know our bowling is not our strongest suit, but we'll have to find ways to manage it, we'll have to be creative, go hard with the bat and make most of the first 4-5 overs with the bat.”
