Royal Challengers Bangalore coach Mike Hesson has recently revealed that a score of 150 to 160 will be a competitive one to in the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League which is scheduled to take place in the UAE from September 19.
He has also shared that he is happy to have a strong bowling unit which will help them to do well in the league. However, this has let them down during earlier IPL seasons as well.
"Here 150-160 will be good scores in some grounds and it will be different. Chinnaswamy (in Bengaluru) is a great batting wicket, smaller boundaries and scores (team totals) are (on) higher (side)," Hesson said RCB's YouTube channel.
He also said that on certain grounds, spinners will play an important role when the surface will be a skiddy in the 2020 IPL.
"On certain grounds yes. It depends, like Abu Dhabi, seamers had played a big role there and probably (the pitch) doesn't (offer) spin as much as the other two grounds (Dubai and Sharjah). It does skid. We need the ability to adjust to conditions on the day as well," Mike Hesson further added.
He again said that bowling at the death overs will be different from Chinnaswamy rather than UAE. RCB has appeared in the final in 2016 but they have never reached the playoffs since then. Meanwhile, Mike Hesson has also given the hint that the South Africa players' inclusion will provide the team with a great team combination.
He said, "We spend a lot of time in reviews and we addressed where we are strong, whom we need to retain, what gaps we need to fill. We spent a huge amount of time identifying who those players were, more importantly, what their roles were..."
"I think there's been a lot of talk about finishing the innings with the ball in the past and we have got some experienced players in that space. Also, we can improve on players we already have.... make them a year wise,-.. a year smarter," Hesson concluded.
