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.

"While RCB's over-reliance on KGF hasn't reduced much, their bowling (which was their strength this season) has gone off the boil a bit. At the wrong time in the season. On the contrary, MI has found some momentum courtesy their superior batting (bowling continues to be a worry)" Aakash Chopra tweeted.

By KGF, Chopra meant (Virat) Kohli, Glenn (Maxwell) and Faf (du Plessis). The three have been RCB's batting mainstays with tallies of 420, 576 and 330 respectively.

"Virat Kohli has scored 7000 runs for RCB. Then there's not a single Indian batter with 1000 runs. In 16 years. A case of not investing enough in Indian batters except Kohli? Remember…half their games are at The Chinnaswamy… #TataIPL," he wrote in a separate tweet.
