Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar on Tuesday said a fearless approach of not worrying about being dismissed, and looking to put bowlers under pressure, is his mantra after powering his side to the IPL final with a 92-run win over Gujarat Titans. Patidar went hammer and tongs in his 33-ball 93 not out which included nine sixes and five fours and lifted RCB to a highest-ever total of 254 for five in an IPL knockout game. In reply, Gujarat Titans were blown away for a mere 162 in 19.3 overs as RCB, the defending champions, stormed into a second consecutive final.

"(It was a) super game for us, the way the batters dominated, striking with intent, was good for us. It wasn't a clear plan, but we were ready for it, have to show some body language that we are ready for you, every batter showed it, attacking mindset," Patidar told the broadcaster after the match. "I take a few balls 8-10 balls to see how the wicket is doing and then I have a clear mind to go about it, I'm not worried about my wicket. I try and put the bowler under pressure. "The wicket was not that easy to get under the ball and hit, there was variable bounce.
