IPL 2017, RCB vs GL: 5 things that went wrong for Royal Challengers Bangalore

#1 Haven’t found the perfect combination

RCB slipped to their sixth defeat of the season against Gujarat Lions

When you see RCB’s team and then see their position in the standings, the first words that will come to your lips will be “How the heck is this team not able to perform?” This reaction is quite justifiable given the fact that RCB have some of the sport’s finest batsmen in their squad in Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, and AB de Villiers in addition to the likes of Kedar Jadhav, Shane Watson, and Samuel Badree.

However, RCB have completely underperformed in the IPL so far and the biggest reason is that they don’t seem to be getting the right combination. RCB have consistently kept on changing their team, shuffling between Chris Gayle, Watson, or Travis Head.

With time running out, RCB need to find a good combination and stick to that combination for the remainder of the tournament. This might give them a glimmer of hope to reach the playoffs.
