The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) players along with director of cricket-cum-coach Mike Hesson and other support staff members started their first training session prior to the second half of IPL 2021.

"The players are getting used to the heat, getting out and running around. Once we start, we want the bowlers to play on an unwinded net. So want to break some new balls, have got other balls to use tomorrow. Also, run through directions and just get it through sore and stiffness," said Hesson in a video released by the franchise on Monday.
After the football match was over, Hesson brought out the plan for upcoming days. "The 6th, 8th, and 10th (September) will be gym days. So, instead of us doing split groups like we did last time, we're all going to go as one group. The 7th, 9th, and 11th will be skill training. It gives you a day where you can work hard and then you can do your own S&C (Strength and Conditioning) and recover."
