Dubai: Even as the Royal Challengers Bangalore won the match against Mumbai Indians with some nail biting moments in the Super Over on Monday, Captain Virat Kohli pointed out at losing catches in the past games and the need to strengthen its fielding capability. Last week in their match against Kings XI Punjab, Royal Challengers lost couple of catches while three more catches were dropped on Monday night. In the match which ended as a tie, at some point Mumbai Indians was chasing 76 to win off 23 balls, with Pollard batting on 15. He made an unbeaten 60 runs off 24 balls in partnership with Ishan Kishan. The Royal Challengers succeeded in the Super Over to rake in two precious points, and their captain Virat Kohli observed that the team could have ended the game in a much more routine way, and expects the team will hone on its catching through the tournament. Kohli insisted on focusing in fielding in the coming matches. He said, “We tried to execute the things that we wanted to - again fielding is something that we have to keep working on, because those [dropped] catches are going to be costly. If we'd taken our catches again tonight, probably it wouldn't have been so close, so look, we've got a close victory, and, as I said, these little things on the field we are not capitalising on right now - it's something we really need to focus on. Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore looked set to win Game 10 of the IPL 2020 after Mumbai Indians required a monumental 90 runs off the last five overs or 30 balls to chase down a mammoth 202-run target at Dubai on Monday (September 29) evening. A daunting 18 runs per over with half the side back in the pavilion seemed a near to impossible task but then came one of the most brutal assaults ever in the dying stage of the game which ensured Mumbai Indians levelled scores and force on a Super Over against RCB at Dubai..
