RCB suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of MI in their last game. Despite a lovely innings from KL Rahul, they could manage a paltry first innings score of 151. MI had a few hiccups in the middle, but a blistering partnership of Jos Buttler and Kieron Pollard took the game completely away from them.

From this stage, the road to the playoffs is extremely difficult for RCB. They have to play against the strong teams like KKR, GL and DD. Kohli didn’t look too perturbed by this situation as he said in the post-match presentation that he loved to be in that kind of situation, such is the attitude of the modern great.

Kohli had a rare failure in the last game, but he continues to be the leading run scorer in the league by far. It is high time that Chris Gayle needs to come good. AB de Villiers is in a good nick. Above all, it is their bowling that needs to rise to the occasion. Only Shane Watson has been performing consistently well with the bowl. Rest others need to contribute big time to back the quality batting.

The opposition GL had a great time at the Eden Gardens in the last game against KKR. They completely dominated a strong KKR team to defeat them in their own den. Bowlers were superb in holding KKR to 158. All the batsmen lead by Dinesh Karthik completed a superlative chase and won the game by 5 wickets.

Though none of their batsmen is in the top 10 run getters in the tournament, yet GL have managed to win matches on a regular basis. Suresh Raina, Dinesh Karthik, Brendon McCullum, Aaron Finch and Dwayne Smith form a formidable batting line-up capable enough to achieve just about any score.

Praveen Kumar bowled a terrific spell of 19/2 in the 4 overs which won him the Man of the match award. Dhawal Kulkarni plays a nice hand with the new ball. With 3 matches in hand, GL need all their bowlers to chip in and ensure a top 2 finish to get an extra chance in the playoffs to make it to the final.
