IPL 2018: 4 areas where RCB haven't changed over the years

#3 Non-penetrative bowling

The bowling department of RCB is yet to fire on all cylinders.

Well, to be honest, death, taxes and RCB's bowling implosion are inescapable. The men in red have been a touch unlucky as well. Last season, they lost Mitchell Starc to injury while Nathan Coulter-Nile was the one to perish to injuries this season.

To be honest, RCB, so far, has been ordinary with the ball. Bowling has been the Achilles' heel for the franchise for some time now.

They have two very talented spinners in Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar but the whole bowling line-up is yet to rise to the occasion. Umesh has been impressive in one game and erratic in the next game while Woakes has looked largely off-colour.

In the match against Rajasthan Royals, the bowlers went for 140-odd runs in the last 10 overs which is mediocre by all means.

Going forward, the teams in IPL will surely target the depleted RCB bowling and the franchise needs to find the right combinations sooner than later.
