Even though Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been struggling to find feet in the ongoing IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori believes it will require an “exceptional” effort from them to beat them when the two teams meet on Monday.

RCB have won just one out of the six matches they have played so far.

“I don’t think anyone in any team underestimates the quality of RCB. They’re a very good team. So it’s going to take an exceptional performance from us to try and beat them. Every (IPL) game is hard and particularly when you’re playing away from home,” Vettori said on Sunday.

“RCB will obviously keep learning from what’s happened in the previous games and they’re going to come out pretty aggressive.

“We’re going to be under a lot of pressure as a bowling unit for how aggressive they are going to be.

“So, we need to find ways to counter that and then keep up with our batting form which has been really good,” said Vettori.
