AB de Villiers is phenomenal for RCB this season

Royal Challengers Bangalore are relying on only three players at the moment. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers with the bat, and Umesh Yadav with the ball. Outside of these three, none of the squad has made a match-defining contribution so far.

Bowling is their Achilles heel. In just 6 games this season, the RCB bowling attack has conceded more than 200 runs on three occasions already. They lack a genuine wicket-taker and their death-bowling is dismal.

They managed to win two games only because of AB de Villiers' individual brilliance. Their middle-order is weak and all signs point to a bottom-half finish for the Royal Challengers.
