"We want to do it for Warne. This is the ideal opportunity to give him a perfect sent-off. He's been a great servant of cricket for 23 years and this is the time to show him what he means to us," an emotional Botha said.
On his team's chances of making the playoffs, Botha felt it won't be easy for the team.
"We need to win at least three out of the remaining four matches. RCB are playing amazing cricket. We have our plans. But in T20 cricket, you never know what will happen," the all-rounder said.
The last time these two teams met in Chennai, the Royals' were on the losing side. Botha felt this time it could be different.
" Mike Hussey and Raina (Suresh) played great knocks in that match. We didn't bat well too. It's crucial to build partnerships. Now we've got specific plans for them. The gut feeling is that we can pull it off this time," he added.
Botha believes there could be a three-way tussle for a play-off spot. But for that, the Royals' would first need to get past Dhoni's men.
"We have specific plans for each of the opposition players. We keep updating them in case one doesn't work. That's been the secret of our success this season. We can be very unpredictable," Botha said.
