After suffering a narrow four-run defeat against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Director of Cricket and head coach, Mike Hesson said that the run-out of Glenn Maxwell was the turning point of the game. A spirited bowling performance saw Kane Williamson-led SRH defeat RCB by four runs here at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Wednesday. Bhuvneshwar Kumar defended 13 off the final over to help his side register a thrilling victory.
"I think so (Maxwell`s run-out being the turning point). The fact that Glenn Maxwell was scoring more than 10 runs per over, he was perhaps the only batter to have fluency on this surface and he was set. He was the man we wanted at the crease, look it probably was the turning point. It probably did turn the game and we left a little too much for us to do in the end," said Hesson during a virtual post-match press conference. "We were not quite good enough in the key moments to get over the line," he added.
