Omkar Salvi backs simple bowling mantra, says 160–180 still competitive in T20s

Raipur, May 12 (UNI) Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) bowling coach Omkar Salvi on Tuesday pushed back against the growing fixation on 200-plus totals in T20 cricket, asserting that disciplined bowling, clarity of roles and execution under pressure can still make even 160–180 scores highly competitive in the modern game.
Addressing the pre-match press conference ahead of RCB's clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Salvi said the biggest challenge in contemporary T20 cricket is not just skill, but maintaining mental clarity in rapidly changing conditions.
"In this format, there is a lot of uncertainty. Pitches behave differently, conditions are not always favorable. The key for bowlers is decision-making and keeping things simple," Salvi said.
