IPL 2019: RR vs RCB - 3 Mistakes from Bangalore that cost them the game

#3 Poor captaincy by Kohli

Captain Kohli seems to be failing at every front while managing the team on the field.

Introduction of a spinner in the early overs could have been a real game-changing decision and might have turned the fate of the side. The RR skipper brought in a spinner well in time to block the attack of the opposing team but the same process was missed by Kohli. Had he brought in a spinner in the power play overs, it would have helped them to stop Jos Buttler's flying start.

Placement of fielders needed to be effective. The replacement of Navdeep Saini might have been a hit as the dropped catch would have ended the other way round and showing Rahane the pavilion in the very second over. All these factors added on to the ongoing stir of Kohli being an inefficient captain for this side in IPL.

These are the areas which helped RR in winning their maiden match in this tournament and forcing RCB to continue on the hunt to score on the points table for the tournament.
