Virat Kohli's team Royal Challengers Bangalore had to face a crushing defeat against Kolkata. In the 10th match of IPL 2024, Kolkata defeated Bengaluru by 7 wickets. This is RCB's second defeat this season. Although Bengaluru won the second match of this season, RCB's defeat was certain in this match too. In the end, Bengaluru won the match thanks to the stormy innings of Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror. The special thing behind this defeat is that Bengaluru is repeatedly making the same 3 mistakes, due to which it is facing defeat. If RCB does not correct this mistake now, then the path to the playoffs will become very difficult. Let us know what are those 3 mistakes of RCB.
Experienced batsman should improve
The slow innings of India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli is the biggest reason for RCB's defeat. In the first match of this season, King Kohli played an inning of 21 runs in 20 balls. Although Kohli scored runs at a strike rate of 157 in the second match, he made mistakes in this match too. Then in the end the stormy innings of Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror gave victory to RCB. Now in the third match also, Kohli played an innings of only 83 runs in 57 balls. Kohli remained unbeaten from the first to the last over, although he could not score runs in the last overs. Kohli played 16 balls in the last 5 overs and scored only 21 runs. In such a situation, Kohli will have to correct this mistake as soon as possible, otherwise the losing streak will continue.
Foreign players are not supporting
It is worth noting that the continuous flop of Australian legend Glenn Maxwell, who plays for RCB, is also a major reason for RCB's defeat. Maxwell's bat could not perform well in any of the three matches. In the first match, Maxwell was out for one wicket, in the second match he scored 3 runs. Although Maxwell played an inning of 28 runs in 19 balls against Kolkata, but in this short innings Maxi got 2 lives. Maxwell is very important for RCB, when his bat swings, runs are easily visible on the scoreboard, but he is continuously flopping.
There is no strength in bowling either
West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph, playing for RCB, has had a poor performance. Joseph did not perform well in any of the 3 matches. Even against Kolkata, this player has given away 34 runs in just 2 overs. Alzari gave 43 runs in 4 overs against Punjab. Apart from this, in the first match against Chennai, Joseph gave 38 runs in 3.4 overs. Alzarri has taken only 1 wicket in these 3 matches. In such a situation, Bengaluru should find its alternative.
