RCB vs GT Live Score, IPL 2023: What did Hesson say?
Ahead of the match, RCB's Director of Cricket Operations Hesson hailed Bracewell.
"He's very much a genuine all-rounder. That's the flexibility Michael Bracewell provides the squad. We know he can bat anywhere from No.3 to 7 depending on what's required. He spent a lot of his early career at the top of the order, so we know he's got that capability. At the moment he's playing the finishing role for New Zealand internationally. So he's got that ability. So depending on the opposition, depending on whether we think if it'll swing or spin it gives us that flexibility. From our bowling point of view, he also can bowl in the PowerPlay. To have an off-spinner who is very confident in the PowerPlay, he's obviously taken wickets for us there as well. It gives us not only depth of batting but also depth of power towards the backend as well", he said.
