On RCB's Inconsistent Run At IPL 2023, Ex India Opener Mentions "Over-reliance On KGF" Point

Royal Challengers Bangalore, despite being a star-studded squad, have been quite inconsistent in the IPL 2023. The Faf du Plessis-led side is currently at the seventh spot with 10 points from 11 games. More importantly, they have lost three of their last four games. As the IPL 2023 reached its business ends, RCB not only need to win their remaining matches but also hope that the teams' results which are above them go in their favour. While analysing RCB's show so far, former India opener Aakash Chopra mentioned a couple of interesting points after RCB's latest loss against Mumbai Indians.

MI vs RCB, IPL 2023, Live Updates: Mumbai Indians will be going up against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their IPL 2023 match on Tuesday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With the race for playoffs intensifying, captain Rohit Sharma's form with the bat and bowling in the death overs will be a huge concern for the hosts. For the sixth-placed Mumbai Indians to move up in the points table, it is imperative that their best batter in the line-up fires. On the other hand, RCB will hope that their troika of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell fire at the top, since whenever they have done so collectively, the team has found itself mostly on the right side of the results.

Aided by KL Rahul's injury early in the match, Royal Challengers Bangalore did just enough to eke out an 18-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in a low-scoring Indian Premier League game at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday. LSG skipper Rahul pulled his right thigh muscle in the second over of RCB innings while trying to stop a boundary and came out to bat only towards the end, which acted in favour of the visitors. LSG dished out a fine bowling display to restrict RCB to a below-par 126 after being asked to bowl first.
