Ranchi: Royal challengers is living on the edge after Sunday s 5 wicket defeat against kolkatta knight riders. the defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders at Ranchi was humiliating for a team that has three of the top 10 run-getters of the tournament. It is said that Bangalore is digging their grave in IPL 2013.
Three wins from their last six matches have done RCB little good at a time They started with a bang, have scored all the runs and showed the rest how to win matches in IPL. But now it is doing everything wrong .With 16 points from 14 matches, Bangalore are fourth in the table.
RCB s bowling weakness is showing up. They could not exploit the Ranchi wicket after their batsmen failed.
Bangalore scored their lowest total against KKR on Sunday. Their 115 for 9 was their poorest in first innings of an IPL match in India.They look a three-batsman team. If one of them fail, the teams back is broken, they are Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB De Villier s role in the playing XI.
The top batsmen of royal challengers Bangalore do not have a strike rate of 130-plus but when compared to the Rajasthans main batsmen have 125-plus and thats making a difference
