He highlighted a challenging pitch, lauded Rajat Patidar’s composure, and appreciated key contributions from the squad.

Guwahati: Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s batting coach and team mentor Dinesh Karthik praised the team’s character and resilience following their first away fixture of the season against Rajasthan Royals, where the side went down by six wickets.
“It’s important to understand that in a tournament like the IPL, it’s a marathon, you’re not going to win every game. But if the team keeps showing character, keeps fighting, that’s how you excel,” said Karthik.
Karthik pointed out that the surface was not the easiest to bat on, making the team’s total an impressive effort.
“I felt the pitch was not that easy to bat on. It wasn’t really coming on, and Dev’s dismissal just showed that the pitch was sticking. In spite of all the challenges that we had, to get to the score that we did was a wonderful effort.”
