Royal Challengers Bangalore lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 52nd  match of the IPL 2021. After the loss, RCB captain Virat Kohli said, "  I don't think so, the intent has to be get it done as soon as possible. Having lost a couple of early wickets, rebuilding was key. Maxi's run-out was the game-changing moment. With AB you are never out of the game, but it is about making sure that the guy who's in flow should be on strike. Not as effective when chasing that down."

"I think Sunrisers held their nerve and bowled their last few deliveries pretty well to not allow us to get away. Looks like Yuzi's back to his best after a layoff. We want him to bowl well. This tournament throws up talent every year, good to see a guy bowling at 150 clicks. It is important to know the progress of individuals going forward. Whenever you see talent like this, you need to nurture them. Little hiccup in the journey but we will carry on with the same momentum."
