"Half Of The Players Don't Understand English": Virender Sehwag Blasts RCB's Foreign Support Staff

Another Indian Premier League (IPL), another disappointing run by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Every single season, the franchise instill hopes in the hearts of their fans, then end up breaking their hearts with their poor show on the pitch. The 2024 campaign has been no different, with RCB incurring 6 defeats in 7 matches to remain bottom of the 10-team points table. As pundits look to delve deep into the RCB machinery, many problems surface. Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag feels one of the biggest issues with the RCB is the lack of Indian support staff.

Mumbai Indians legend Rohit Sharma registered his 8th Indian Premier League (IPL) hundred, albeit in a losing cause as his team came up against the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.

"Someone Needs To Raise Their Hand": Harbhajan Singh's Brutal Verdict On RCB

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh voiced his concerns regarding Royal Challengers Bengaluru's bowling unit, which conceded the highest total in the history of the Indian Premier League against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB elected to put SRH to bat and a tsunami of boundaries took over the stadium as the Pat Cummins-led side broke their own record and posted the highest ever total in the IPL: 287/3. Each bowler who completed his four-over spell conceded more than 50 runs on the record-breaking night. Reece Topley picked up a wicket but conceded 68 runs. Yash Dayal gave away 51 runs, Lockie Ferguson bagged two while spilling away 52 runs and Vijaykumar Vyshak also gave away 64 runs. Throughout the tournament, RCB has lacked firepower in their bowling unit, which has played a part in their downfall. In seven matches, RCB have tried to defend their target four times and have failed to achieve it once in the ongoing season.

"One Of The Big Dogs...": On Glenn Maxwell's Mental Health Break, Australia Great Reveals RCB 'Pressure'

Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting on Tuesday showed complete empathy for a struggling Glenn Maxwell, saying the constant pressure of being a star RCB player got to him and he made the right call of taking an indefinite "mental and physical health" break from the game. For the second time in his career, Maxwell has taken a break of this nature. The Australian himself asked to be rested from the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday night following a string of low scores this season.

After Fifth Straight Loss In IPL 2024, RCB Coach Andy Flower's Big "Every Match A Semi-final" Take

After his side's sixth defeat in seven matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Andy Flower confessed that each of their remaining seven matches will have to be treated like a semifinal. In the latest setback to their playoff aspirations, RCB went down by 25 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday.

RCB vs SRH Game Was One Of Sixes, Not Of Batsmanship: Aaron Finch

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru unleashing a barrage of sixes in their IPL match left little room for batsmanship and what mattered was who hit the most number of sixes, said Australia's T20 World Cup-winning skipper Aaron Finch. Travis Head's maiden T20 ton and Heinrich Klaasen's pillaging 67 drove SRH to a record-breaking 287 for three, which helped them go past their own 277/3 against Mumbai Indians at Hyderabad this March 27.

Cost Of Hat-trick Of Sixes? MS Dhoni's Video After MI vs CSK Match Worries Fans

MS Dhoni left both fans and experts completely spellbound as the Chennai Super Kings batter slammed Hardik Pandya for three back-to-back sixes during the IPL 2024 match against Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai was witness to a trademark Dhoni knock that saw the veteran wicket-keeper batter score 20 runs in just 4 balls at an astonishing strike rate of 500. At 42 years old, Dhoni has vastly limited himself to a finisher's role for his franchise and his knock was instrumental in taking the total beyond the 200-run mark. However, it looked like the knock came at some cost as Dhoni was seen limping with padding around his knee in a video posted on social media.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru's season of horror continued on Monday as they slumped to their fifth straight loss in the IPL 2024. This time it happened against SunRisers Hyderabad after conceding a record 287/3 - the most in T20 franchise cricket history. With the loss, RCB's road to playoffs has become tougher. For the game, RCB dropped two big stars - Mohammed Siraj and Glenn Maxwell. The latter, despite having the reputation of being a big-hitter, has not been able to fire in the IPL 2024.
