IPL 2017, RPS vs RCB: Five mistakes that led to RCB's defeat

#3 No strong opening partnership

Head misfired at the top

The opening partnership has been a constant worry for RCB throughout the tournament and today it proved to be a major reason for their defeat.

Bangalore tried Travis Head at the top alongside Virat Kohli but the Australian batsman managed to score only two runs in five balls and was dismissed in the second over.

As the first wicket fell quickly, it added pressure on the middle order and also increased the confidence of the Pune bowlers.
