There is no need to specify what the IPL season is currently underway. This time, however, many teams show solid performance. The Royal Challengers Bangalore, which has been aggressive from the beginning, is one of them. At first, he was well played but slowly fumbled and defeated in their own ground in a row. And let’s see what the reasons for this.
Why lost in the home?
1. Pitch Problems: Chinnaswamy Stadium is usually suitable for batting, small boundaries and flat pitches. But in 2025, the pitches helped the bowlers. For example, RCB scored just 169/8 in the match against Gujarat Titans. Their aggressive batting did not go on these pitches.
2. Batting failure: hitters like Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone in the middle over. Spin bowling in the match against Delhi Capitals. The RCB was unable to score in the pitches of carefully playing.
3. Opponent Bowling: Rival bowlers, especially spinners, used the pitch. Chahal RCB batting with Siraj and Punjab Kings with Gujarat Titans. RCB bowlers were unable to protect less scores.
Why won the outside ground?
1. The batting miracle: RCB’s batting on Away Pitched was excellent. Phil Salt (65 of 32) and Kohli (62 not out) dominated the Powerplay in plains such as Eden Gardens (KKR), Chepak (CSK), Wankhede (MI) and Jaipur (RR).
2. Bowling effect: Bowlers like Josh Hazlewood, Bhubaneswar Kumar and Yash Dayal bowled well. The bowlers who gave 56.4 runs for the wicket in the home and took 21.2 runs.
3. Strategic game: RCB played wisely in the same matches. Toss decisions, fielding options, and impact player use well. For example, Karnal Pandya played the man of the match with 3/29 in the match against KKR.
Psychological factors are also a reason ..
The RCB team seems to have played under pressure while playing in the home ground. The idea of winning in front of home fans made them mistaken. They were played freely without stress, which won after 17 years in Chepak.
End:
In the RCB home, the pitches misrepresented, batting failed and surrendered to the opposing bowlers. But the outside batting, bowling and strategies were wonderfully implemented. To win the home, the RCB should reduce the aggression and play to the pitch and use the bowling strength effectively in their home ground.
