Once Upon a Time…

R Vinay(RCB-à KTK)

B Akhil(RCB-à KTK)

Mic Testing 1...2...3...

Daniel Vettori - "The big thing for us was our fielding. If we do that [well], everything falls in place. Aravind has been a really good find for us."

Mahela Jayawardane - "The local players are doing well for us and that is a good sign. Prasanth Parameswaran held his nerve in big matches. We all know that Raiphi Gomez has the talent and he has done well. Vinay [Kumar] brings in lots of experience of having played here [in Bangalore]. He can give us insights about the pitch."
