Different year, similar problems for RCB

This has been another disappointing season for RCB so far. It is quite hard to understand that despite big names and they failed to make it again and again and that has been the story of every IPL season of RCB. In this season of IPL, they were in the competition till their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday (May 7) where they couldn't chased down 147 and lost the match by 5-runs in the end. And almost closed the door for themselves of playoff hopes.

Although, RCB skipper Virat Kohli also thinks that his team didn't deserve to win after putting that kind of show with bat.



"It was tough defeat but that is how the game goes. We deserve to lose this game. We were not good enough on the day. 60-odd runs in first 6 overs and then we ended up like that. I don't think we showed enough application. The kind of shot we played, they were not on at that stage."

"I think we threw it away. I think we let the opposition get back in the game. That has been story of the season so far. The Fielding was up to the mark but I think 10-15 runs less would have been ideal for us."

"This was a tough wicket. We should have done a better job with the ball but in the field we were up to the mark. If you have strong character in the team you can always do well in such a tournament."



However, Virat Kohli thinks that SRH have the best bowling attack but overall CSK and KXIP have a better chances to win this IPL.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is the highest run getter for RCB in this IPL with 396 runs. On the other hand, Umesh Yadav is the leading wicket taker of this season with 15 wickets. But apart from Virat and Umesh, none of the other batsmen could contributed much in team cause. However, their Fielding also hasn't been consistent and let them down on some occasions.

With four matches remaining, it is very unlike to them to make it through to the playoffs but RCB will want to win those matches to gain some sort of respect. And also to gain some confidence to going further.
