“There is no need to treat any game any differently” – Devdutt Padikkal on facing Chennai Super Kings
Ahead of the big match, RCB’s number three Devdutt Padikkal said they trust their preparations ahead of facing the Super Kings and believes everything will come good. As quoted by India Today, the left-handed batter stated:
“We have played some really good cricket throughout the season, and there is no need to treat any game any differently. So, as long as we have done our preparations well and are completely focused on the game, I think we should be fine.”
The Royal Challengers had defeated the Super Kings earlier in the tournament by 50 runs, registering their first win at the Chepauk since the inaugural edition.
On their current form, RCB will back themselves to repeat that win against the five-time champions.
