That's because RCB has the strongest batting line-up of IPL 2016, one or two batsmens' lack of contribution isn't even noticeable. Problem is the toothless bowling attack. Small boundaries and batting-friendly pitch isn't helping matters either.

 

When are Badree and Starc expected to recover from injury?

kal bahut fark pada :agree:

 

kal agar 190 hote to under pressure MI batting ke against shayad kuch hosakta tha :agree:

Starc is out for the whole season. Badree is expected to recover by may 1st week.

 

Not noticeable doesn't mean it does not matter. If a side fails to defend 191, the blame will naturally go to the bowlers and the spotlight will not be on Gayle's duck. Whereas the reality is 200+ is the par score at the Chinnaswamy.

 

The reason is simple - because the batting line-up is selected based on which players are most likely to score the highest runs and not on reputation. Currently, Head is scoring more runs than Gayle, so deserves a spot ahead of him. Maybe RCB would've scored 20 runs more if Head was playing instead since he's in good nick unlike Gayle.

phir to Gayle ka har match me khelna banta hai. likely highest scorer me to Gayle ke alawa kisi aur ka naam ho hi nahi sakta :agree:

Our formula as far as batting is simple : 

One of our 4 batting stars play big. Other 3 play around. Sarfaraz and mandeep are well capable of doing what head will be expected to do. No doubt Head is a good batsmen but it's more easier for Gayle to play those big innings than Head.

Head can't open. Gayle can. Sarfaraz can't open either. So Gayle opens and Sarfaraz down the order. No point playing two lower order batsmen instead of an impact opener and be content with a non-impact opener like KL Rahul.

The marketability of the team also decreases if Gayle isn't a permanent member of the playing 11.

DDs bowling in the end was too good.

Would have been tough for even head to come in and smack around. Even yesterday he took 10-12 balls to settle down and then started smacking it well.

And it's only been one match. We all know how Head fluncked when called in to play for Australia .

Head is definitely capable of playing match-winning innings, he showed that batting for the Adelaide Strikers in BBL 2015-16.

This I agree with. Gayle enjoys tremendous adulation from the fans, even more than Kohli or ABD. This was evident at the stadium.

Gayle's Performance does not matter as far as other are playing well. On another day, Gayle will click and others might not play well.

It's a collective effort. That's why we have batsmen as far as no 7 . In case anyone has a bad run,others need to step up.

No doubt he is a match winner..he wouldn't cut into this lineup if he wasn't. But that doesn't mean he will straight away be a star. He too can flunk.

The think tank obviously see him each day in the nets and if he was is tremendous form of some sorts,he would have been picked ahead of Gayle.

The fact that Gayle will straight away replace him as soon as he is available makes it all clear.

Abe maine jo type kiya hain theek se padh aur ho sake toh samajhne ki koshish kar :no:

 

Mera logic simple hain - currently Head has a high probability to score more runs than an out-of-form Gayle, so he deserves a spot in the playing XI, until Gayle regains his form.

It's a collective team effort, that's why you don't carry a passenger saying his performance does not matter. If one batsman is out of touch and not contributing, another who's in form replaces him and wins games. That's how it's done in all team sports.
