"We played very well. But we did not have the luck in the tie-breaker. We have not been successful in tie-breakers. We had a lot of expectations from two to three players in the defense. I had told them the way to put tackles, but they did not do that. It looked like they were doing something different. These small errors should not occur. We need to win at least four out of our remaining seen matches. We have trusted the players even before the auction. They have to live up to it now. If they do that we will win," he said during the post-match press conference.
The Bengaluru Bulls have 10 points from 11 matches. They are seventh on the table. The Bulls will be eager to bounce back in their upcoming clash against the Tamil Thalaivas.
