SA20: The auction of the SA20 league is scheduled to be held on 19th September and ahead of the bidding, MI Cape Town has roped in its coaching staff.
Katich felt that RCB had a chance to win the game if they had crossed the 150-run mark on the scoreboard.
De Villiers (55 off 22) smashed six sixes to help RCB register a seven-wicket win over Royals after all seemed lost following the dismissal of skipper Virat Kohli (43) in the 14th over.
The 13th edition of the IPL, which begins on September 19, will be held in a bio-secure environment behind closed doors -- at least the first phase -- in wake of the raging COVID-19 pandemic.
RCB having arrived on August 21, have already completed their six days of quarantine.
As senior player Yuzvendra Chahal pointed out in a recent interview, RCB lost 30 percent of their games due to their death bowling over the past three seasons.
IPL did happen outside India once in its glorious 12-year-long history. Back in 2009, it was shifted to South Africa owing to a clash in dates with the General Assembly Elections.
RCB director Mike Hesson, as well as franchise's newly-appointed head coach Simon Katich, heaped praises on Indian captain Virat Kohli after his match-winning innings against South Africa last night.
Simon Katich will join Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as the new head coach, while Mike Hesson has been appointed as the Director of Cricket Operations.
Kallis joined the side in 2011 as a player before replacing Trevor Bayliss as head coach in October 2015 and so far under Kallis and Katich, KKR won 32 of their 61 games.
For the defending champions, the primary selection question centres on how to fit in Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja and Warner into the top three.
Two-time champions KKR needed to win against Mumbai Indians on Sunday to qualify for the playoffs, but they slumped to a nine-wicket thrashing to crash out of the T20 tournament.
Katich said while Kohli the batsman cannot be faulted, MS Dhoni's guidance will be the key at the World Cup starting May 30.
Eyeing to match the triple title feats of Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders will begin their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Katich further showered praise on skipper Dinesh Karthik who led by example and has filled in the void created by their most successful skipper, Gautam Gambhir.
Asked if the pressure of captaincy would affect his batting, the former Aussie southpaw said Karthik will have enough experienced players in the squad and it is also his role as the batting coach to ease the pressure off him.
