What changed for RCB this year, yes obviously their aggressive intent but who implemented that intent in the team? They score 262 last year while chasing 286 against SRH last year but this year their batting seems completely different, and it's not only because of foreign players, Indian players like Rajat, Kohli and Jitesh are completely beast this year.
It's Dinesh Kartik effect on RCB! Yes, he is a great coach, always engaged in the game and has one of the best cricketing mind. He came as a coach and changed the RCB's batting approach completely. Last year RCB's had average score of around 57 in the powerplay and today against MI they scored 72, which is highest for them against MI.
Kohli is playing with great intent. Rajat we all know that he is a great player against the spinners. He was failing to attack against pacers last year but this year he is even targetting pacers. So who brought this change in them? It has to be their batting coach Dinesh Kartik.
Dinesh played a great role in auction strategy too. Getting Phil Salt in the team was his idea. And it's not only about the intent, we are seeing the change in RCB's overall body language this year. Also credit to Rajat patidar he is a great captain. The funny part is Kartik and Patidar were highly trolled because of the role they got but they are the one now proving their worth..
