Having registered five wins on the jog with Chris Gayle playing an important role, Bangalore captain Daniel Vettori recognized that the West Indian has distorted their fortunes.
"We had in progress poorly, losing three breach games but with Gayle coming in and his opening partnerships with (Tillakaratne) Dilshan, we have been able to put force on the resistance. Gayle has been in wonderful form and has bowled well too," said Vettori at the match-eve press conference.
Gayle has shattered rival bowling attack with utter scorn with his power-hitting on more than one time in the event. He has helped the team post big scores. However, Vettori disagree that he has protected the bowlers: "We were out for 120 and the bowlers were tested in that match. In fact, they are experienced in every match because of shorter boundaries and flat wickets."
Defensive Indian pace lead Zaheer Khan, whose performance has been below par in IPL 4 so far, the Bangalore captain said "he bowls inexpensively in the last overs".
"He is a key bowler for us and swings the match for us against Pune Warriors. He bowls efficiently in the last overs and he and I bear the force of the attack," said the Kiwi.
On his team's chances of attainment the play-offs, Vettori said RCB could reach the knock-out stage but need to get better their fielding: "With four games outstanding, three victories can push us to top two. The current form is pleasing but we need to get better on our fielding."
"It was field which had cost us the initial matches but with our batting and bowling coming good, the self-assurance has trickled down to field too, which has better," said Vettori.
He added: "It is an significant match and we need to win next to Rajasthan Royals to combine our position," said Vettori."
