โOne of it’s kind for RCB (laughs). Again, it’s not been really big on what’s going to happen after 10 or 15 days. It’s about doing the smaller things right, doing each day right, taking each match at a time and also having practice sessions. So everyone’s put in a lot of hard work. Credit to our support staff as well. They’ve kept everyone really positive and happy, which is again a good atmosphere to be,โ Mandhana said in the post-match presentation ceremony.ย
