IPL 2021: 3 players who shone and 2 who flopped for RCB in first phase of the tournament

Two players who flopped for Bangalore

2 RCB players who flopped in the first half of IPL 2021

#1 Yuzvendra Chahal

Matches for RCB: 7, Wickets: 4, BBI: 2/34

RCB's main tweaker ended the season with just four wickets from seven matches. Chahal has always been in the middle of wickets for Bangalore and will be keen to climb the wickets chart when the IPL resumes in the UAE.

Chahal also had his worst economy of 8.26 since 2015 (8.86). The leggie had a comeback of sorts in the ODIs against Sri Lanka last month, picking up five wickets from two games.

He followed it up with one wicket in the one T20I game he played against the island nation.

#2 Virat Kohli

Matches: 7, Runs: 198, Avg: 33.00. SR: 121.47

Barring the unbeaten 72 against the Rajasthan Royals, Kohli has done little to set the IPL on fire. The skipper has just one fifty from seven games and has been guilty of getting out despite getting the starts.

He has three 30+ scores in the first half of the edition and come the second leg, he will be keen on getting RCB off to solid starts in company of Devdutt Padikkal (195 runs from six matches)

RCB's fans will be hoping their talismanic captain has a great Test series against England and that he will carry that form into the IPL.
