It's early days in this edition of the T20 and most teams are still searching for that right balance to their line-up. It's no different with the Bangalore and as their English import Chris Woakes admitted, it doesn't help the cause when you are losing more often than not.
"When you are losing games, I suppose you are always tinkering with the team to trying to find the right combination to get that winning formula. I suppose we are still searching for that," said Woakes at a media interaction.
One of Bangalore's biggest concerns has been the death bowling, having leaked too many runs in that period. "We have got a few [death overs specialists] but everyone has to be able to step up and bowl the overs if they are needed to. We have tried a few different combinations at the death. [Mohammed] Siraj came in the last match and bowled very well. Hopefully, he can continue to do that. Our plans are good at the death. We just need to execute them a bit better," he said.
Switching to a few English cricket veterans frowning on Virat Kohli's possible county cricket stint ahead of India's tour to England later this year, Woakes was all for his Bangalore skipper to be a part of it. "My opinion is that if the counties are willing to sign Indian players then so be it. The young guys get a chance to bowl to a player like Virat.
That can only help the game and a make it a better competition and better experience for the guys going into international cricket. I don't have a problem with it. Hopefully, he doesn't score too many runs so he is not in too good a form coming into the series," he said.
