IPL 2020: Younger players could feel less pressure in empty stadiums, says RCB coach Simon Katich
FirstpostRoyal Challengers Bangalore led by Kohli completed their mandatory quarantine upon their arrival in Dubai and had started their training camps last week. Dubai: Royal Challengers Bangalore head coach Simon Katich feels that while younger guys will feel lesser pressure in empty stadiums but could well be a challenge for the senior cricketers as they gear up for Indian Premier League. “Personally, I think some of the younger players actually enjoy the fact that there will be a little less pressure with less people at the ground, creating all that noise and distraction,” Katich said during RCB’s YouTube show ‘Bold Diaries’. Experienced mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton had earlier said that cricketers like Virat Kohli who depend on external stimulation and are used to ‘pressure’ are “really going to struggle” in front of the empty stadium but self-motivated players will “do a hell lot better” in this year’s IPL.
