‘You have to run after the trend’

"I can't help but feel that RCB has this in the bag. Look at what has happened. Look at their momentum and tempo, I am a complete cricket buff. But I cannot help but look at science, as cricketers, you also get superstitious. You have to run after the trend," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel 'Ash Ki Baat'. 

"If you look at what has happened, every team that has gone against has eventually turned into a favour for them," he added.

Ashwin also highlighted how RCB bounced back this season after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad.

"First, people were saying RCB's momentum was broken because of the 20-day break. They lost against SunRisers Hyderabad. Look at how they bounced back in the LSG game. Jitesh Sharma scoring those runs was a massive momentum shift," Ashwin concluded.

RCB vs PBKS - Preview

RCB have got the better of PBKS twice this season in three attempts and that gives them a slight advantage. But again, one has to realise the outcome cannot be predicted as it is a new day and a new game. Both sides have big hitters and hence a high-scoring affair is expected in Ahmedabad tonight.
