#5 The middle order crumbled under pressure
Trending
Batting was difficult but not impossible on the day. Kohli showed that if batsmen hung in there and properly applied themselves, then the runs would come. However, the middle order of RCB simply failed to learn from the captain.
Kedar Jadhav was run out due to terrible miscommunication between himself and Kohli, but before getting out, the wicket-keeper batsman failed to make a contribution.
Sachin Baby and Stuart Binny too joined the bandwagon and lost their wickets in quick succession. Baby tried to play a delivery that was sliding down the leg side while Binny was dismissed trying to pull a short ball from outside off stump, towards square leg.
Pawan Negi too didn’t fare well and offered a simple catch to the long off fielder. More than the surface, reckless shots caused RCB’s downfall.
No batsman from No. 3 to No. 7 reached double figures as they added a cumulative total of just 13 runs.
