BENGALURU: After eight matches in the Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore are struggling to fire as a cohesive unit. The troubles - overdependence on the three top stars to put the runs on board, middle-order blues and the inability to check the flow of runs in their death overs are beginning to haunt them.
On Wednesday night against Kolkata Knight Riders, too many things went wrong for the Bengaluru-based franchise. Losing their penultimate home game by 21 runs, RCB will look to pull themselves up in their ensuing five away games. The think-tank headed by Mike Hesson and Sanjay Bangar will have to break down the issues plaguing the team.
