Commenting before the start of the Mysuru leg, Bangalore Rhinos Captain, Vipin Malik said, “All our matches have been really close and even if we have lost in three matches we haven’t lost them by exponential score lines. We have had some teething issues but we are for sure sorting them out. We want to make sure that we start the Mysuru leg on a positive note as we play Haryana Heros in our first match. Having beaten them already we have a strong belief that we can repeat the same result here as well. Once we catch momentum we are pretty sure we can make it to the semi-finals.”
