Following a loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their opening match of the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament, Kochi Tuskers Kerala skipper Mahela Jayawardene has said that he is confident of his side making a comeback in the tournament
"I think the camp has been training for about a couple of weeks, few of the boys like Sri Lankan boys, we just joined couple of days ago, so did the New Zealand guys. We are trying to accustom to what we need to do and work on our areas and I think we can improve on all three departments," Jayawardene told reporters at the post-match conference.
"I think each game we will analyse it and see how we can improve ourselves and that is the challenge we have got. We have got quite good young players and at the same time some experienced guys who will put everything together and see what the best formula it is going to be," he added.
Meanwhile, expressing happiness over last night's win, Royal Challengers Bangalore wicketkeeper-batsman AB de Villiers said that cricket is all about confidence and momentum.
"Yes it is always nice to start a tournament of this kind in a good way, always going to start with the win. This game of cricket is about confidence, momentum and we got little bit of that today," said de Villiers.
"We started with bit scratchy, I do not think that we played the best cricket out there but still it is important to pull through a win. I thought we got good experience to pull it over across the line with the few youngsters around to keep the ball," he added.
Royal Challengers Bangalore beat debutantes Kochi Tuskers Kerala by six wickets in a thrilling match at the Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Saturday.
