Royal Challengers Bengaluru head of operations Mo Bobat on Tuesday said he is trying to keep the players fresh for the upcoming hectic travel days, so that the team can produce optimum level performance in those crucial games. The Royal Challengers have played just two matches in the first fortnight of the IPL, but from their fourth match of the season against Mumbai Indians a hectic travel schedule will kick in for them. I think you just deal with the schedule that you are given. We definitely try to focus on those first couple of games at making the statement start. So, we use that as something to motivate the group. So I don't think that's a big issue, said Bobat in the pre-match press meet here. The RCB will have to play five games inside 13 days against MI (away), Delhi Capitals (home), Rajasthan Royals (away) and Punjab Kings (home). I think a bigger challenge for us scheduling-wise is probably the amount of travel that we've got. We've actually got quite a laid-back start. B
