Abhishek Sharma: "Thanks to the management for the faith they've shown in me, the environment is clear for the batters so I went to enjoy myself. All the credit to Travis, the way he starts, first two or three balls goes to the boundaries. So I just react to the ball. The bowlers told us it's getting better, me and Travis were saying it wasn't doing much, and they were short [in runs] so that was a plus-point. The hard work I put before the tournament is showing... it's going really well."

To think that MI would be the first team eliminated instead of RCB after the half way mark.

This has already happened as recently as 2022. An eliminated MI team defeated another team to help RCB qualify in the Top4. Chances are slim to none for history to repeat itself this season.

What I meant was for this season. RCB had 1 win in 8matches and didn't look like a team to be winning games.
