BENGALURU: There is a vast gulf between strategies and execution and for the better part of this season, Royal Challengers Bangalore have failed to bridge the gap. The result? After five matches, they find themselves placed seventh with three losses and two wins.
One of the key reasons for their slump is the failure of the Indian batters to come good, and an over-reliance on the top order – Faf du Plessis (259 runs), Virat Kohli (220) and Glenn Maxwell (176). So far, RCB have scored 899 runs and the trio has contributed 655.
