4 reasons why Royal Challengers Bangalore have been poor so far

#3 Middle-order muddle

Mandeep Singh has been somewhat consistent

The RCB top order is one of the best in the tournament and more often than not, the trio of Quinton de Kock, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers will have to bat out for the majority of the innings. However, there will be times when the middle-order will have to show its worth.

So far in the IPL this year, the RCB middle-order has been a spot of bother.

Mandeep Singh has been somewhat consistent but it is hard to see him finishing off the innings in a flourish on a consistent basis. Sarfaraz Khan may be a promising player but he has been poor so far and Chris Woakes’s batting is simply not suited to T20 cricket.

Washington Sundar has looked quite promising so far and maybe he could prove to be RCB’s middle-order star for the rest of the tournament. However, thus far, the middle-order problem has set them back as a team.
