Let’s play…

Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Bangalore, says that they would have bowled first as well but usually, at the Chinnaswamy, it is better to defend as the ball spins later. Adds that he expects the pitch to play well through the game. Mentions that it is on Virat Kohli and him to assess and play accordingly. Claims that they did well in the last game to pull things back and they have done well as a bowling unit to take wickets. Informs that their batting has been good on their home ground. Ends by saying that his job is easy as he has to pick the best bowling attack and batters and informs that Wanindu Hasaranga comes in for David Willey.
