Zaheer Khan points out flaw in RCB batting strategy. In the RCB vs CSK post-match discussion. Zaheer Khan and many other professionals remarked on a number of themes.
The Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore had a rough start to the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The team has won twice and lost three times in their five matches thus far in the competition. Despite their top order performing admirably in the tournament. The rest of the batting lineup has failed to create an impression.
Former India pacer Zaheer Khan addressed the issue, pointing out a key problem in the team’s batting lineup. The 44-year-old believes that if Dinesh Karthik cannot restore his form, the troubles would continue throughout the tournament.
“We understand the pressure Faf and Max were under after the way they batted. Especially after Virat Kohli was dismissed early.” “If Dinesh Karthik cannot perform like he used to in the middle order or at the end, then these issues will persist all season long because the rest of them are inexperienced,” Zaheer Khan told JioCinema.

Parthiv Patel on Devon Conway is how he typically bats
Devon Conway was one of the standout performers in Chennai Super Kings’ latest game versus Bangalore. Batting first, the four-time champions scored 226 runs, and Conway’s contribution (83 off 45 balls) in the first innings was significant for the visitors.
Former India cricketer Parthiv Patel praised Conway’s performance, saying, “His batting usually goes this way, he takes a little time to settle in at the start but after that, if he plays, he plays for a long time.” You need a batter who can score 83 runs on 45 balls and someone who can play on one end for 14-15 overs while keeping the strike rate consistent. We discussed his lack of impact on this front before to the game, but whenever he has contributed, he has helped CSK win, which is why they keep him.”
