Always try to contribute wherever I can: Pacer Rasikh Dar as RCB return home to face LSG

RCB pacer Rasikh Dar reflects on his role and team's confidence as the defending champions begin a key home stretch against Lucknow Super Giants.

"I always try to contribute wherever I can. - Rasikh Salam Dar"

Bengaluru, April 14

Defending champion Royal Challengers Bengaluru will host Lucknow Super Giants in their upcoming IPL fixture at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Wednesday

RCB comes into the contest in fine form, having secured a convincing 18-run victory over the Mumbai Indians in their previous outing. RCB currently sit third on the points table, with six points accumulated from four matches, along with the highest net run-rate in the competition.

The fixture also marks the start of a key phase for the defending champions, who are set to play three consecutive matches at home.

The right arm pacer Rasikh Salam Dar was among the positives from the previous outing, finishing with figures of 1/23.

"It was an important victory for the side, and we are feeling confident as a unit. We have clarity in our roles and what we need to do, and we are looking forward to playing at home tomorrow," Dar said.

After his contribution in RCB's win against Mumbai Indians on Sunday, he said, "I was playing an IPL game after a while, but the process remained the same. The work we've put in over the last year was all about preparing for match situations, and in the last game, I focused on executing my plans."

Rasikh is part of an experienced bowling unit that includes the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood and Krunal Pandya.

Reflecting on his role within the team and the presence of Hazlewood, he said, "I always want to help the team. Hazlewood is a big legend and an important part of the team. I always try to contribute wherever I can."

Finally some consistency from RCB's bowling! Dar looked very composed against MI. His figures of 1/23 on that Wankhede pitch were excellent. Hope he gets more games in this home leg. #PlayBold

Good win, but let's not get carried away. The real test is maintaining this form. Three home games back-to-back is a golden chance to solidify that top-4 spot. Bowling unit needs to step up every time, not just in one match.

Love the humility from Rasikh. Learning from a legend like Hazlewood must be incredible for him. Chinnaswamy is a tough ground for bowlers, but if they can keep executing plans, RCB looks very strong. Excited for the match!

As a long-time RCB fan, it's refreshing to see a balanced team this season. The bowling, especially, doesn't look like a weak link anymore. Dar, Bhuvi, Hazlewood - that's a proper attack. All the best for the home games! 🏏
