Hello and welcome to all the readers.

Match Statistics:

RCB won the toss and elected to bat

PBKS scored 179/5 in 20 overs. The highlight was captain KL Rahul's knock of 91 not out. Chris Gayle and Harpreet Brar also scored good runs and had good partnerships with KL Rahul.

In reply, RCB started slow and also lost first wicket early. RCB lost 3 main batsman for just 7 runs and were 69/4 in 12.1 overs. Losing the key batsman made the task very hard for them. RCB managed only 145/8 in 20 overs

Analysis:

RCB death bowling was not good. As mentioned in my previous blogs, RCB heavily depends on kohli. maxwell and de villers. Today all the three failed to score.
RCB may have started well in chennai, but their troubles have just begin. The players need to adapt to the new grounds.

PBKS batted well today and their bowling was excellent.
Fast bowlers bowled well in the powerplay and did not allow RCB to score
Spinners were excellent and took wickets.
Today KL Rahul didn't do wicket keeping. That helped him to marshall his troops well.

I think he should play as a specialist batsman and let someone else do the wicket keeping.
What do you think?
