If we don't go through, we have ourselves to blame for it. If we go through, I'll give all the credit to the boys. That's the last thing you want - to be dependent on the other results.

"Last 12 months we did a giant favour to RCB, I hope the consequence comes what we're on the lookout for."

"We did a variety of issues proper as we went alongside," Rohit said. "We misplaced a few video games at first and received three on the trot. The essential moments within the sport that we misplaced… if I've to look again there are a variety of moments like that. The sport in opposition to Punjab right here, we would have liked 30-34 [40] off 18 balls. We may have performed properly there. Against LSG, we had the sport in our fingers after the primary half of the innings. But cannot look an excessive amount of into that. I'm positive the fellows need to do properly however generally it would not come off."
