#5 Royal Challengers and the bowling headache

The IPL, in its 10 editions, has evolved greatly, beginning as an experiment to becoming the competition which every cricketer wants to be a part of. What hasn't changed though is the bowling fortunes of the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Season after season, the batsmen put the runs on the board only for the bowlers to let them down and it has been no different in the 2018 edition.

With five games left in the league stage, Virat Kohli and co. will have to put in a collective performance to have a chance to make to the Playoffs.
