In a post-match press conference, Mo Bobat, the director of cricket for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), discussed the team's six-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2026. He acknowledged that the team's total of 175 runs was below par and that the batters struggled on a slow Chinnaswamy pitch. Bobat expressed confidence in the batting unit's capabilities despite this setback, stating, "We probably weren’t as fluent as we normally are," and emphasized the importance of an honest review without over-analyzing the loss. He also highlighted the calculated risk taken by the team in using frontline bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood strategically, which ultimately led to Romario Shepherd bowling the last over against experienced finishers David Miller and Tristan Stubbs. Bobat concluded by stating that the team would learn from this experience and aim to return to their usual form in the upcoming matches.
