Jaipur: The bowling coach of Delhi Capitals (DC) Munaf Patel has underlined the value of bowlers in T20 cricket, saying that while batters can win individual matches, tournaments are ultimately decided by good bowling performances.Addressing the media at the pre-match press conference ahead of the Rajasthan Royals (RR) clash on Friday, the former Indian team pacer Patel pointed to the high-scoring nature of modern T20 games but stressed that disciplined bowling remains the key to sustained success.The 42-year-old Munaf Patel also confirmed that Australian pace spearhead Mitchell Starc is available and will play his first match of the season against the Rajasthan Royals side on Friday.On bowlers vs batters in T20 cricketI always say this, a match can be won by batters, but a tournament is won by bowlers. Because if you see, even yesterday around 250 runs were scored.So obviously, if bowlers bowl well, you can win the tournament. Batters can win you a game, but if you don’t bowl well, you cannot win a tournament. That is something I strongly believe in.On approach in must-win situationsIn do or die situations, the approach has to be 100 percent. Because you know that if you lose one or two games, you are out of the tournament.So as a unit, you have to give your 100 percent. Otherwise, it becomes very difficult to survive.On strategy against Rajasthan Royals battersIf I tell you the strategy now, they will be ready tomorrow. So I cannot tell you the strategy.We will focus on bowling well and executing our plans, but I cannot reveal anything here.On recent performances and mindsetNo, we were not nervous. We were playing with a different approach.We wanted to score more runs, but the wicket was doing a bit. They bowled well and took good catches.It is not like if you lose one game, you become nervous in the next game. That is not cricket. Our approach will remain the same.If we bat first, we will try to put up a good total and then defend it. Scoring 250 in one game and 75 in another is not nervousness, that is just how the game goes.On approach for the rest of the seasonOur approach will remain the same. We will give our 100 percent and focus on playing good cricket.Whether we bat first or bowl first, the idea is to control the game and minimize mistakes. We will play to win and not think too much about the result.If we play good cricket, the result will take care of itself.On Mitchell StarcHe is available from tomorrow. Our best bowler will definitely play, but the final decision will be taken tomorrow.Him coming back, it definitely helps. Fast bowlers who may have struggled in the powerplay will get more support.On possible changes in the playing XIThere won’t be too many changes. We have experienced and performing players in the squad.Unless there is an injury, I don’t think there will be many changes. It is not like you lose and then you start changing everything.
