While training sessions are usually intense, some goals can also be achieved through fun exercises. Take, for example, a fun challenge that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowling coach Adam Griffith came up with for his bowlers, both spinners and fast ones, to improve their ability to throw at yorkers at will. . Each pitcher was given 10 balls each and they had to get one, three or five points depending on the target they hit. Sharing the video of the entire challenge, RCB tweeted: “Our bowling coach Adam Griffith is putting on a fun and challenging competition to help our players shoot those yorkers. It’s safe to say that all of our players are snipers!” .

In addition to improving the bowlers’ accuracy, the activity also helped the players bond while appreciating each other’s success.
Being a specialized hitter, RCB captain Virat Kohli obviously did not take part in the challenge, but was there to support and motivate the bowlers who gave their all to win the challenge.
In the video, bowlers like Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal, Isuru Udana, Washington Sundar, Umesh Yadav, to name a few, can be seen landing the ball on the target to score points.
The atmosphere was such that every time a bowler reached the goal, Kohli would walk into the middle of the field and start dancing and hugging them.
RCB’s death bowling game has been their Achilles heel for several years as they have lost many games in the past.
It won’t be an exaggeration to say that RCB has been one of the lowest performing teams in IPL history despite boasting some of the biggest names in world cricket.

However, seeing their star players execute the Yorkers to such perfection would give RCB fans hope for a turnaround in their fortunes.
RCB will kick off its 2020 campaign in pursuit of that elusive IPL title on September 21 against SunRisers Hyderabad in Dubai.
