Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challenger Bengaluru (IPL) allrounder Mahipal Lomror has revealed that he had been told the night before the game against Punjab Kings (PBKS) by the team management that he would be utilised as a finisher if RCB were chasing. Lomror (17 off 8) played his role of finisher as an Impact Player to perfection, stitching an unbeaten 48-run stand in just 18 balls with Dinesh Karthik, to help RCB chase down 177 in the final over to get their first points of the IPL 2024 table with a four-wicket win over Punjab Kings.

"Yeah, this is what the team management wants me to prepare about for this role and they have communicated really well about this, and they are very clear because we have a really good, strong batting lineup. So that's the only place where they can shuffle and use me. They are very clear about it from the very first day and I'm also preparing for the same,” Lomror said after striking an unbeaten 17 off just 8 deliveries in Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s four-wicket win over the Punjab team.

Talking further about his role as an Impact Player, Lomror stated, "This impact player rule is such that you have to be ready and you can get a call at any time to go in, and as the name says you have to show that, and you have to make an impact on the game. So, we were ready, and the management discussed it last night that ‘if we are chasing, we might use you down the order. So be prepared for that.’ So mentally I was prepared and that worked."
