Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s disappointing run in IPL 2024
The 17th season of the IPL has been far from promising for RCB. Out of 10 matches played, they have managed to secure victory in only 3, accumulating a mere 6 points. Consequently, RCB are situated at the 10th position in the points table. Their bowling unit has struggled significantly, failing to produce a bowler who could claim 10 wickets throughout the season. Opposing teams have exploited RCB’s bowling vulnerabilities, resulting in defeats in 4 matches where they attempted to defend their total.
On the batting front, Virat Kohli has emerged as the standout performer for RCB. In the IPL 2024 season, he currently holds the coveted orange cap for scoring the most runs (500) so far. However, the lack of substantial contributions from other RCB batters is glaring, with none managing to reach the 300-run mark for the team this season. For RCB to harbor any hopes of qualifying for the playoffs, they face a daunting task. They must triumph in all 4 remaining matches while also significantly improving their net run rate. Furthermore, their fate will be contingent upon the outcomes of matches involving other teams.
