Under the headlights of the wrapped Narendra Modi stadium, when fans of RCB and PBKS hold their breath, the captains of the Kings of Pandjab and the Royal Challenges of Bengalur were released and offered to look into their thinking. Shreyas Iyer spoke with expressive urgency, alive on this occasion. On the other hand, Rajat Patidar was measured and crushed, his calm corresponding Bengaluru’s remarkable form. Both were folded, both confident – but everyone spoke a different language of leadership.
“I won’t say it’s like another game. It’s the final and we’ll play as a final,” Shreyas Iyer said after winning the throwing and decided to mix first. “The great feeling of just thinking about lifting the trophy. The crowd is electrifying. All we have to do is to value a moment.”

Meanwhile, Patidar downplayed this opportunity with an ice -cold focus. “It’s a big stage, but it’s just another game for us,” he said, underlining the incredible performance that his party has already reached-RCB won all seven of her gaming games this season, the first in the history of IPL from the beginning of the home and Away format.
Both teams named the unchanged XI. While the pandjab went to the stability of Iyer’s calm, but expressive leadership, the RCB was controlled by Patidar’s undervalued but fearless brand of the captain – especially in pressure chases and tight modifications.
Shreyas Iyer’s talk about “positive characters for the mind and body” reflected the captain consciously locked into the zone. For Patidar it was all about clarity and rhythm. “Until now we have played a good cricket. The pitch looks good, it’s a mixture of red and black soil. We’ll look for a good score and put them under pressure,” he said.
