The discussion gained extra attention because Bethell had not played a single match in IPL 2026 at the time, with RCB\u2019s opening roles initially going to Virat Kohli and Phil Salt.<\/p>\n<h2>Cook\u2019s County call, Pietersen\u2019s counter<\/h2>\n<p>Cook, who framed his view around Bethell\u2019s preparation for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand, said the batter would benefit more from County Championship cricket. Kevin Pietersen, another former England captain, pushed back on that idea, arguing that Bethell\u2019s development would be better served by staying within the IPL environment.<\/p>\n<p>When Salt picked up an injury, a vacancy appeared in RCB\u2019s top order and Bethell was handed a place in the playing XI. Through all the back-and-forth, the left-hander did not publicly respond\u2014until now\u2014when he addressed reporters ahead of RCB\u2019s IPL 2026 clash against the Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts: Bethell\u2019s stance<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Bethell faced pressure after Alastair Cook urged him to prioritise County Championship cricket over IPL 2026.<\/li>\n<li>At the time of Cook\u2019s comments, Bethell had not played any IPL 2026 match because RCB had backed Virat Kohli and Phil Salt as openers.<\/li>\n<li>Kevin Pietersen disagreed with Cook, saying Bethell would learn more by being part of the IPL setup.<\/li>\n<li>With Salt injured, Bethell entered the XI for IPL 2026.<\/li>\n<li>Bethell said he believes IPL 2026 is a marquee tournament and that he is learning by being in India around top players.<\/li>\n<li>He added that he does not think IPL will harm his career or development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In his response, Bethell made it clear he was comfortable with his choice. He described IPL 2026 as the showpiece event of the year, featuring some of the best players in the world, and said differing opinions are natural.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my personal point of view, I think I\u2019ve made the right decision,\u201d Bethell said during his media interaction before the match versus Mumbai Indians. He also stressed that the tournament should help him grow rather than derail his progress.<\/p>\n<p>Bethell insisted that the decision would not damage his pathway forward. \u201cI definitely don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to hurt my career or stop me from getting better,\u201d he said, adding that he feels content with where he is right now.<\/p>\n<h2>Numbers haven\u2019t come yet<\/h2>\n<p>Despite getting opportunities, Bethell has not yet produced the kind of impact RCB would want in IPL 2026. In four matches, the left-handed batter has managed scores of 14, 20, 5 and 4, totalling 43 runs.<\/p>\n<p>His most recent T20 highlight remains fresh: he struck a century in the T20 World Cup semi-final against India at the Wankhede Stadium. Still, the IPL 2026 returns have been modest so far, and that has shaped his mindset going into the next game.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cNot fighting for a spot\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Ahead of the trip to Raipur for the contest with Mumbai Indians, Bethell played down any sense that he was battling for security in the side. He said his feeling was not about defending a position, but about failing to deliver the runs he wants to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never really feel like I\u2019m fighting for a spot,\u201d Bethell said. He pointed out that he hasn\u2019t scored the runs he aimed for, and that it hasn\u2019t helped the team\u2019s cause.<\/p>\n<p>He added that his motivation is rooted in contribution rather than self-protection. Bethell said it does not feel good when he is not helping the team register wins, and with RCB having dropped their last couple of matches, he is carrying a stronger desire to deliver a performance capable of swinging the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s more from a hunger to actually contribute to this team,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd especially now that we\u2019ve lost the last couple of games, there\u2019s a burning desire in there to go out there and put in a match-winning performance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royal Challengers Bengaluru
