Royal Challengers Bangalore had to face defeat in Qualifier-2 against Rajasthan Royals. The team’s fans are disappointed after the defeat of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). At the same time, questions are being raised about the captaincy of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis. Now, former Indian starter Virender Sehwag has questioned Faf du Plessis’ captaincy.
The former India starter said Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis could not properly use a brilliant bowler like Josh Hazlewood. He got Faf du Plessis second and sixth over Josh Hazlewood. According to Viru, Josh Hazlewood should have been knocked down for 3 straight overs. He said since Hazlewood has the ability to take wickets with the new ball. In such a situation Hazlewood could have been knocked down for 3 consecutive overs.
Virender Sehwag said Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis has excellent knowledge of the game. He reduces mistakes on the field, but in this match Faf made a mistake. He said that after throwing the second over, Josh Hazlewood came in to throw the sixth over. He took a wicket in the sixth over. The former Indian starter said you can’t stop your wicket-taker bowler this way. If I were the captain I would have allowed Josh Hazlewood to bowl the first over of the innings and bowled 3 overs in a row. The only way for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to win the match was to get out of the Rajasthan Royals top order early.
He further said that today the captaincy of Faf du Plessis, the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), was not good. He brought in Josh Hazlewood and Vanindu Hasranga very late. However, Sehwag defended Faf du Plessis, saying that he reduces mistakes on the field, but it happened in this match.
