IPL 2020 | How RCB got trapped in the tactical cat-and-mouse game in KXIP tie

India TV News  

One of the key highlights of Royal Challengers Bangalore's impressive form this season has been Virat Kohli and the management's attention to match-up details. It was It was unlikely that RCB would rejig their batting order, especially after that KKR game, when the pair of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli stitched a 100-run partnership, courtesy an unbeaten 33-ball 73 from the South African. Moreover, RCB had recalled KXIP's strategy from their previous encounter, earlier this season when Murugan Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi attacked in tandem after the powerplay against leg-spin-susceptible batters Aaron Finch and De Villiers. Ashwin remained in the attack for two more overs in a bid to trouble Kohli, who as well struggles against leg-spinners while introducing a sixth-bowling option in Glenn Maxwell, just like the previous game. Unlike the Maxwell strategy against the two lefties, RCB's ploy to disrupt Chris Gayle by holding back Sundar failed to work.
