Faf du Plessis (RCB Captain): I think it is important from the top-order perspective. Batting again was a little tricky. But Maxwell put the pressure back on them. Today was a bit about some planning. We haven't been as good as we would have wanted at death. The bowlers were fantastic today. Most teams can fall away quickly seeing so much of dew. But we stuck to our plans. Nice thing to have experience. When it is going well or not, you can reinforce the trust. DK is in the form of his life, so lucky to have him in our side. I would like to have guys tell me before the game if there would be dew or not. May be on tired wickets we will bat first. Just one game at a time. It is important to stay calm and composed.
