IPL 2018: 5 reasons for RCB's dismal performances this season

#5 Inability to win on the road

Kohli's men have struggled away from home

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore is a feared place for most teams to go to. Buoyed by a raucous and passionate fan base, RCB have dominated teams at their home ground, making full use of the short boundaries and knowledge of home conditions; and while their home form has been slightly below par, winning only three out of their 6 games so far, it's been their away form that has really let them down.

RCB have been on the road four times this season and have lost every single one of these games. As spoken about earlier, RCB struggled to adapt to different conditions in different places and failed to pick up wins. To win a tournament of this magnitude, it is vital to win on the road and unlike the leading teams like the Sunrisers, who have won 3 out of their 4 games on the road so far, and the Chennai Super Kings who have won 3 out of their 5 road games, RCB have been unable to pick up crucial points on the road.
