The bowlers made a comeback

RCB could score only 172 runs in their first batting. At this time it seemed that the team would lose easily to Rajasthan Royals. Despite the expectation of win or loss in the match, Bangalore had to face defeat. After RCB's defeat, captain Faf du Plessis gave the reason and said that the team lost due to the impact player rule. Faf said that if this rule was not there, this score would have been enough. But due to this rule, this target could be chased.

What are the impact player rules?

According to the Impact Player rule in IPL, apart from the playing eleven, both the teams also have to name 5-5 substitute players. Out of these five, one has been fielded as an impact player. An effective player both bats and bowls. Captain Faf said that this season it has been realized that it is not easy to cross the score under the Impact Player rule. I am proud of the team. Many teams win 1 match out of 9 and lose 1 but at this time it is good to come back and win 6 consecutive matches.
