Jacques Kallis returns to the pavilion after scoring 27 off 37 balls. PIC: IPL2010/GETTY IMAGES</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table>Jacques Kallis' slow approach against Deccan Chargers last night caused Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Anil Kumble to shoot from the lip. Kallis made 27 while consuming 37 balls with just one four and his inexplicable aversion for big shots piled pressure on his partner Rahul Dravid and left the late-order to do too much while chasing 152, eventually pushing the Challengers to a 13-run defeat. "He (Kallis) has won us a couple of games earlier but today he got stuck. He should have gone after the bowling in the first six overs and it did not happen.<br /><br />"You can't expect someone like Robin (Uthappa) to see you through (every time)," the leggie said. <br />However, the captain refused to blame Dravid for playing a lofted shot off Andrew Symonds, resulting in a simple catch for B Sumanth in the deep.<br /><br /><strong>'Got stuck'</strong><br />"I think it was just a matter of pressure building. If Dravid plays normally, people say he is mild and not aggressive. Today, he is the one who gave us initiative in the first six overs after losing Manish Pandey. <br />"Kallis should have made a move on which did not happen and that put pressure on the guys coming in," the leggie said. </p>
