SRH game was 270 plus, we got 260. KKR game as well &#8211; 1 run. We&#8217;ve been close for a while, but you need to win matches to get confidence as a group. Will sleep easier tonight,&#8221; he said during the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>The South African skipper emphasized the importance of tangible performances in boosting the team&#8217;s confidence. &#8220;You can&#8217;t speak confidence into the group, can&#8217;t fake confidence into the group. Only thing that gives confidence is performances,&#8221; he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging <!-- -->Virat Kohli<!-- -->&#8216;s consistent run-scoring for RCB, Du Plessis expressed satisfaction with the resurgence of other batters. <br \/>&#8220;The competition is so strong, the teams are so strong that you&#8217;ll get hurt if you&#8217;re not at 100 percent. More guys are scoring runs now. First half of the tournament only Virat was scoring runs. Greeny scoring runs now will be massive for him,&#8221; he noted.<br \/>In the match, chasing a formidable target of 207, SRH&#8217;s aggressive batting approach backfired as they slumped to 69\/5 in the 8th over and failed to recover thereafter. The result underscores the challenges of balancing aggression and caution in the dynamic game of T20 cricket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };<\/p>\n<p>    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')<\/p>\n<p>      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }<\/p>\n<p>    }<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/vsp1jarvispvt.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/top-stories\/i-forgot-the-way-to-the-captain-faf-du-plessis-jokes-after-rcb-break-six-match-losing-streak-in-ipl\/articleshow\/109609078.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Faf du Plessis expressed relief after his team halted a six-game losing streak with a resounding 35-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League on Thursday.&#8220;I forgot the way to the press conference,&#8221;
