They seems best in the IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Team of three greatest batsmen of modern era : Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers and Chris Gayle. Yet, they have never been a consistent team in the history of IPL.
And, against KKR, they hit the all time low, as the succumbed to the lowest total ever in the IPL history, 49, and no batsman could make double digit score.
Even if you are not a ardent fan of RCB, you can see the faults and weaknesses they have.
In this season so far, their foregnier superstars are just playing, doing nothing. Chris Gayle has an average of 20 and a strike rate of 107 in three innings. Shane Watson has an economy of 9.92 in four matches, and has picked mere two wickets so far. De Villiers form is also patchy.
And as if it’s not enough, their charismatic captain, and the best batsman of the universe, Virat Kohli is also off colour so far, returning after a shoulder injury.
The Chinnaswami pitch is also not doing any help to their cause. Once, a batting paradise, the pitch has slowed down considerably this year. In 2016 season, the average score was 197, but in this season it’s just 152.
Though, IPL has not yet reached half way, but RCB is already looking down and out. Now, they need miracles to turn the tables.
