However, RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar assured in the press conference that the injury is not severe.
While talking to the media in the press match conference, Sanjay Bangar said, “Yeah, he had a bit of a niggle in his knee. But I don’t think there is anything serious. Having scored two back-to-back hundreds within a gap of 4 days. He is somebody who not only wants to contribute with the bat but even when he is fielding. He did a lot of running around. 40 overs a couple of days ago and today, for 35 overs he was on the field. He was giving his best. So it is going to bother at some point but I don’t think it’s anything serious.”
In this match, both Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill scored a hundred and it was a delightful sight for the fans. RCB posted a score of 197 runs at the loss of five wickets. Chasing the target, Shubman Gill scored 104* runs to take his team home.
