The right-arm fast bowler showcased his skills with figures of 4 wickets for 24 runs, dismantling the LSG batting lineup. His crucial breakthroughs came against key players such as Aiden Markram, Ayush Badoni, Mukul Choudhary, and Avesh Khan, which significantly disrupted the opposition’s momentum and bolstered RCB’s chances of securing a victory. RCB’s vice-captain, Jitesh Sharma, praised Dar’s preparation and execution during a pre-match press conference. Sharma highlighted how Dar’s abilities had been honed through consistent effort and guidance, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and a supportive environment in refining a player’s skills. “The skills that are now evident, he already had them. He is learning how to use them,” Sharma remarked. He added that when a player has access to quality coaching and a conducive atmosphere, they can fully utilize their capabilities and sharpen their techniques to perform under pressure. Sharma also reflected on Dar’s development during the domestic cricket circuit, where he played alongside him for the Baroda team. He noted that Dar had dedicated significant time to mastering his yorkers and slower deliveries, which are critical in high-intensity formats like the IPL. Sharma explained that the IPL demands perfection, as errors are frequent during such matches.#ipl_2026 #royal_challengers_bangalore #lucknow_super_giants #jitesh_sharma #rasikh_salam_dar
