The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has faced an exit from the ongoing 11th edition of the IPL. Now, there is not a single chance they can qualify for the playoffs. They lost in the virtual knockout game against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Saturday and have disappointed their fans yet again.

Despite being one of the favorites in most of the seasons of IPL, RCB is yet to win the tournament and even in IPL 2018, RCB has had a very balanced squad. However, the team management couldn’t manage to get their combinations right and it directly lead them to severe disappointment. Umesh Yadav, who was RCB’s top performer with the ball this year spoke after the game against RR and also about captain Virat Kohli.

Umesh seemed to be dejected after the loss as, despite his consistent performances, his side couldn’t get through. Umesh had the pitch to blame for the loss and opined that it was on the slower side. He said, “It was rather slow and we were off to a good score and had compiled 55 runs in six overs but we lost 3-4 quick wickets which hurt us. There were no partnerships.”

Also, Yadav felt that the aggressive brand of cricket doesn’t always work, he said, “They (RCB batsmen) have attacking style and despite the wicket is slow, they continued with it. Sometimes it comes off some time it does not.”

The talented fast bowler also shared his thoughts about RCB’s misfortunes this year. He felt that they failed in executing their plans well. He described “We have a good side but things have not come well. Sometimes it is bad batting or sometimes bad bowling. We have not been able to execute our plans.”

Also, he spoke about captain Virat Kohli and stated that his inconsistency somewhat affected them. The pacer concluded, “He (Kohli) is a great player but unfortunately he has not been among runs. When we lose a player of his stature early it puts a lot of pressure on rest of the batting.”
