Royal Challengers Bangalore have yet again gotten off to a very bad start in the IPL. They have lost all their four matches and even the best batsman in the world, Virat Kohli, is not able to turn the tables for the three-time IPL finalists.
The worst part of the losses is the manner in which Virat Kohli's team gave up, without putting up a fight in all the matches.
In the opener against Chennai Super Kings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore side slumped to just 70 runs while batting first, that is one of the lowest scores ever in the IPL.
Against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore could not contain the Jonny Bairstow and David Warner partnership and SRH posted a mammoth 230+ score. RCB in reply folded for 113 runs.
