“They’re off the ventilator, but still in ICU…”: Ajay Jadeja on RCB’s turnaround in IPL 2024

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 5 (ANI): Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja said that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)’s bowling outshined the batters in their win over Gujarat Titans (GT) on Saturday and said that the team of “off the ventilator, but still in ICU”.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) managed to survive a middle-over scare of quick wickets despite an explosive partnership between skipper Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli to record a four-wicket win against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Saturday.

Following the game, Ajay said on JioCinema, “We are excited about today’s match after seeing Virat and Faf bat. But the real work that was done, was by the bowlers, an aspect RCB has historically struggled at. The bowling department has started to click for them now, and we are talking about the business end of the season, this is the point where realistic chances of winning come from momentum.”

“More than momentum, it is about the mentality of the team where you know if you are in a bad situation, someone will take you out of it… Today, it seemed like RCB picked the right road while Gujarat was on the other side. Who will reach their goal? It is a very tough ask still. The chinks in the armour are visible, what happened at the end. But the chance is there. They’re off the ventilator but they’re still in the ICU,” he added.
