Speaking in a virtual media interaction on Monday, RCB\u2019s Director of Cricket Mo Bobat said the celebration will be stretched a little longer as players manage travel and personal commitments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, I don\u2019t think any of us are going to Bangalore, unfortunately. I\u2019m traveling back to the UK tomorrow. Rajat, I\u2019m sure, will be heading home to his family and I think Andy\u2019s got a holiday planned,\u201d Bobat said. He added that the franchise will wait a bit before reuniting with fans and sharing the joy of the championship moment.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>RCB players and support staff will disperse from Ahmedabad and not return immediately to Bengaluru to celebrate.<\/li>\n<li>Mo Bobat highlighted travel and holiday plans, including himself heading to the UK.<\/li>\n<li>Bobat and skipper Rajat Patidar credited a balanced data-and-analytics approach, with Freddie Wilde as lead analyst, for the turnaround since 2025.<\/li>\n<li>RCB became the third IPL franchise to win back-to-back titles, after being long seen as underachievers.<\/li>\n<li>Flower pointed to data-led work as a driver behind Patidar\u2019s development into a more aggressive pace hitter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the championship high still present, Bobat and captain Rajat Patidar stressed that RCB\u2019s method\u2014combining analytics with cricket judgment\u2014has been central to their transformation since 2025. They said the franchise\u2019s evolution was not driven by one flashy recruitment or a sudden overhaul, but by a structured, evidence-led way of building the team and preparing for matches.<\/p>\n<p>For a long stretch, RCB were often branded the league\u2019s most prominent \u201cnearly\u201d outfit: a side loaded with talent that repeatedly fell short when it mattered most. That storyline has changed dramatically since 2025, when the franchise shifted into a rare bracket by becoming only the third team in IPL history to secure consecutive league titles.<\/p>\n<p>Bobat said the change at RCB has been rooted in how decisions are made\u2014especially under his oversight, alongside lead analyst Freddie Wilde, head coach Andy Flower, and batting coach-cum-mentor Dinesh Karthik. In that framework, data and analytics have moved to the heart of how the franchise operates, helping them shed the \u201cnearly men\u201d label that haunted them for years.<\/p>\n<p>He also clarified that the culture isn\u2019t about worshipping numbers. \u201cIn terms of the sort of data-related questions, both Andy and I are very similar in our views in that we don\u2019t overly focus on data,\u201d Bobat said. He argued that while elite sport is filled with analytics discussions, what matters most is making decisions with evidence to support them.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bobat, the franchise values judgment just as much as information. \u201cWe really value and we recognize the importance of our judgment as decision makers,\u201d he said, adding that their choices affect players\u2019 careers, ambitions, and livelihoods\u2014so those decisions must be made with discipline and rigour.<\/p>\n<p>Bobat described the approach as balanced and philosophical: evidence can come through objective numbers, but it should also incorporate what experienced people observe on the ground. He said expert eyes and ears\u2014along with context\u2014turn data into a fuller picture, enabling \u201cevidence-based decisions\u201d rather than relying on one narrow lens.<\/p>\n<p>He further explained that the team\u2019s working style blends data-informed insights with instinct. \u201cSo very balanced view in our sort of ways of working,\u201d Bobat said, noting that Patidar\u2019s experience as captain is expected to connect with these insights\u2014pairing analytics with \u201cgut feel and intuition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bobat said Dinesh Karthik was brought into the setup partly because of his tactical awareness. \u201cA part of the reason why we engaged DK\u2026 is that he has a very active tactical mind,\u201d he added, suggesting the franchise can learn from his experiences and perspective in addition to the numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Freddie Wilde is central to the shift<\/h3>\n<p>Wilde, who now works as lead analyst for Desert Vipers in ILT20 and London Spirit in The Hundred, previously had a role with the England men\u2019s team. He also came into wider attention after contributing a chapter to the book \u201cCricket 2.0: Inside the T20 Revolution,\u201d titled \u201cWhy CSK win and why RCB lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bobat said Wilde\u2019s impact has been tangible in reshaping RCB\u2019s fortunes. He praised Wilde\u2019s ability to move between analyst thinking and the way coaches operate, calling it a useful overlap. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked with Freddie for a few years now,\u201d Bobat said, adding that Wilde can communicate effectively with players and groups in a way that not all analysts are positioned to do.<\/p>\n<p>He also credited Wilde\u2019s practical mindset, pointing out that the numbers do not always provide the full story. Bobat said Wilde understands the subjectivity and context that can shape analytics, and that his contributions are especially important in squad-building and auction planning\u2014areas where RCB invests significant preparation time.<\/p>\n<p>As the season progresses, Bobat said RCB runs a rigorous planning and review process, with Wilde leading a large part of the work alongside Flower. \u201cHe\u2019s been excellent and a real value add for the franchise,\u201d Bobat said, describing Wilde as helping across multiple levels for players, support staff, and coaches. The headline, he insisted, is balance: \u201cthe human and the machine\u201d both matter in RCB\u2019s process.<\/p>\n<p>Flower, who has added another IPL title to his collection of winning franchise T20 trophies as head coach, offered a glimpse of how data support helped Patidar evolve into a sharper, more ferocious pace hitter during the tournament. \u201cI\u2019m not going to answer anything, but I really want to hear Rajat\u2019s answer about the use of data,\u201d Flower said.<\/p>\n<p>Cricket-21 statistics were cited to show that Patidar has emerged as one of the most damaging batters against pace in IPL 2026. The numbers were described as a notable jump from the previous season, with Patidar\u2019s 2025 record against pacers reading as 190 runs in 13 innings, at an average of 23.8 and a strike rate of 143. In that stretch he hit six sixes and posted a boundary percentage of 58.9, while his boundary per ball (BPB) ratio sat at 5.3.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, the improvement was framed as emphatic. Over the same number of innings, Patidar reportedly scored 377 runs against pacers, averaging 62.8 with a strike rate of 189. He cleared the boundary ropes 28 times, with BPB improving to 3.6 and boundary percentage rising to 73.2. Patidar credited Wilde\u2019s expertise for helping him sharpen his batting versus pacers, while also retaining his ability to take on spinners.<\/p>\n<p>Patidar then gave a personal account of how Wilde\u2019s work translated into his preparation. \u201cTo be honest, it was beautifully explained by Mo regarding Freddie,\u201d he said. Patidar added that on several occasions in the IPL, he had called Wilde and asked for video material focused on specific bowlers\u2014especially spinners such as Rashid Khan, Sunil Narine, and Varun Chakaravarthy\u2014where the key challenge is picking the ball out of the hand.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that there were moments when he struggled to read those deliveries from footage. \u201cSo I called Freddie by saying\u2026 \u2018Freddie, please help me. What\u2019s the difference in these bowlers who are bowling two or three deliveries, or different deliveries and from where I can pick him?\u2019\u201d Patidar said. He credited Wilde for breaking down the differences and helping him understand what to look for.<\/p>\n<p>Patidar said people often label him as a spin basher, but he believes his preference is to play fast bowling. Still, when it comes to spin and learning to pick up bowlers from their hands, he gave the credit to Wilde for helping him a lot. \u201cSo people always used to say to me that Rajat is a spin basher\u2026 the credit goes to Freddie,\u201d Patidar concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s squad and support staff are expected to break
