IPL teams and their international twins

Royal Challengers Bangalore - South Africa

Despite a mighty team, RCB always seem to falter

The word 'choking' binds the Royal Challengers Bangalore and South Africa together. Both the RCB and South Africa have shown the tendency to falter in the knockouts of tournaments and have been caught in this eternal loop. It has become a mental block which they are not able to get over. During any tournament, RCB as well as South Africa start as odds-on favourites but manage to underwhelm and crash at crucial stages.
