Kohli's team has looked pretty much same like previous seasons. — Kohli's team has looked pretty much the same like previous seasons.

#2 Middle-order fragilities

Sarfaraz's poor form led to him being dropped from the third game.

RCB's middle-order has not been able to step-up to the occasion multiple times now. Coming out to bat after McCullum, De Kock, Kohli and De Villiers is never easy.

Mandeep Singh and Sarfaraz Khan have been promising but they have not had the kind of impact expected from them. Mandeep, especially, has been around for some time now.

Bangalore's middle-order has lacked the kind of flair they have at the top. Mandeep and Washington Sundar played good hands in the last match but the game was long gone.

This season, Pawan Negi hasn't got many chances till now and Chris Woakes is yet to play an inning that could prove his credentials as an all-rounder.
