Quotes
Mohammad Kaif
Former RCB player and Indian cricketer
“Even Kohli has gotten out on zero but he is a great batter. He knows to come back and gets the chance. But many players did not get that chance as there would be changes constantly. This change in RCB has come for the good because they are making a team of bowlers now. Bowlers have been told their roles clearly and the plans are very clear too with backing.”

“Krunal Pandya and Suyash, the way they have been backed, this has never happened before. No one has been backed how players have been this time in their history.”
