"As far as preparation is concerned, I can definitely tell you that we make sure that they are well prepared. We have those facilities here where we can do our open nets and stuff like we had that session yesterday with our lower middle order or our middle order.

GT vs RCB Live Updates |'Got to treat wins and losses fairly equivalently': RCB head coach Andy Flower

"Obviously things came together so quickly and so well that the game was over in the blink of an eye. So it was great to watch those two great bowlers bowl, Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood, and then obviously we had an easy small chase so the game was over quite quickly. And I think, to be honest, you've got to treat the wins and losses with a fair degree of equanimity because with losses you don't want to get too down and the same principles apply to wins. So I don't think it's a huge challenge, to be honest," Flower said.
