I've got a lot of respect for him: Flower after Venkatesh's 44(19)

After RCB all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer scored 44(19) against SRH in IPL 2026, RCB head coach Andy Flower said, "I've got a lot of respect for Venky." "He has had to wait for his chance...His attitude through the season has been outstanding," Flower added. "I'd lie if I said that I wasn't frustrated or didn't want to play," Iyer earlier stated.
