Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) slumped to one more defeat within the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), taking place to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at house on Tuesday. RCB have now misplaced three of their 4 video games, having solely overwhelmed Punjab Kings (PBKS) to this point. Against LSG, RCB had been bowled out for 153 in 19.4 overs whereas chasing 182. Barring Virat Kohli, no different batter has managed to offer a superb account for himself. While analysing the defeat, former SunRisers Hyderabad head coach Tom Moody highlighted RCB’s achilles heel to this point within the season.

Moody feels the shortage of position readability amongst batters is actually hurting RCB, including that the “chop and change” coverage is a reason behind concern.

“From a players’ perspective, there is talk about role clarity and it looks like there isn’t any role clarity in RCB. They are still searching for their best combination. It’s like until they start winning a couple of games, they won’t settle on that set batting order,” Moody mentioned on ESPNcricinfo.

“They’ve only got one batter in form, that’s Virat Kohli. Faf, Green, Maxwell, and Patidar haven’t found their feet yet and they don’t know what their best lineup and batting order is, which is also disruptive in any team environment,” he added.

Coming again to RCB’s chase, the house aspect misplaced the wickets of Kohli, skipper Faf du Plessis and Maxwell within the area of 9 deliveries and three runs.

Left-arm spinner Manimaran Siddharth, who got here in as influence substitute rather than De Kock, acquired Kohli as his debut wicket because the star batsman miscued a shot to backward level and walked again after his 22 off 16 balls.

Du Plessis was run out within the subsequent over off a direct throw and three balls later Yadav had Maxwell out caught at mid-on together with his searing tempo.

Wickets saved tumbling and regardless of cameos from Rajat Patidar, who made 29, and Mahipal Lomror, who hit 33 off 13, the chase ended tamely.

Earlier, LSG rode on Quinton De Kock’s 56-ball 81 and an unbeaten 40 by Nicholas Pooran to publish 181-5 at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
