de villiers and chris gayle contributing regularly and in unison but this season they have been restricted to less than 100 on two occasions in fact of the 19 who have taken the field for rcb this season only kedar jadhav and yuzvendra chahal have featured in all matches on the other hand binny has been underutilised with the ball while the sting was missing in shane watsons attack although the spinners have done a decent job english pacer tymal mills hasnt lived up to the hype created by his arrival gayle kohli mandeep singh shane watson travis head and vishu vinod have all opened the innings but there have been only three notable opening stands of 52 63 and 122middleorder messmost teams have discovered and nurtured finishers but in the case of rcb the opponents have run through the middle and lower order without much fuss skipper kohli picked up a shoulder injury which kept him out of the tournament for the first two weeks and kl rahul another key player last season was ruled out entirely with a shoulder injury the first team to bow out in the group stage itself they will want to forget the 10th edition of the indian premier league in a hurry when the top failed most of the others failed to stand up for the count bowling and fieldingbowling has never been the usp of rcb and this year nothing much has changed eight losses in 11 outings was bad enough but what will hurt even more is the manner in which their batting lineup has crumbled time after time
