Majestic Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Chinnaswamy is a venue where RCB fails to defend 200 more often than they chases down 200. velu and nevada 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 RCB, LSG, & current MI have a rotten core. Unless these franchises realize that, they will continue to eventually disappoint their fans unless winning 4-6 games is the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickydev Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 RCB are a franchise of gimmicks. They sign big names in both their men's and women's teams to create hype off the field..updating their badge, audition for women bowling 130s, Go green, Mock auctions, Nags show and all that..they don't care about onfield success. At least Delhi and Punjab are not nearly as pretentious nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that some need off field initiatives too or more than others to keep the fans connected (at times, the owners believe in such initiatives).

RCB are also notorious of not producing young players who can win games on their own. Where are the RCB's Rinku Singh or Venky Iyer(in 2021)? They just rely on big names. Earlier it was Gayle, ABD and now Faf, Maxi. Edited April 26, 2023 by Majestic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one emerged under his captaincy at international level. Saw them as a threat. Even older and insecure now. Any young player better off elsewhere. nitinbwj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollingstoned Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 It feels like RCB got outplayed but thr result could easily have gone in their favour of they took some of their catches and Rinku did not take a very difficult catch off Faf. Even the Venky catch was a stunner but it read time for Kohli to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 While top franchises are designing teams around multiple players: LSG designed it around KL MI around Rohit, Kishan, & SKY (even BD will beat this side) RCB made its KGF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 Shabaz and DK flopped big time. both were the heroes in several finishes last season. It is not about pressure. DK has lost his ability, mojo. It lasted for only one IPL season. Didn't they see DK's performance in world T20? nitinbwj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season DK mostly did well at Wankhede iirc (his stats/performances are influenced by that). Did not do that well at other venues. This IPL, RCB will only play one game at Wankhede (where DK could shine). Edited April 27, 2023 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singhvivek141 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 What is Shahbaz's role ?..I am yet to figure out if he's a bowler or a batter first. He don't see skilled at either of the roles, just a filler who can play the supporting act to others....even last season he mostly acted as a support to DK who actually was the main performer. At this moment, he is a just way inferior version of Axar Patel. Even Lomror hasn't performed but based on his stini with other franchises, he is someone who can play quick fire inns of 30-40 runs in 20-22 balls.
