But looking at their current circumstances, this looks exceptionally challenging, particularly with a 5-match losing streak and a destitute net run rate (NRR). Bangalore’s head coach, Andy Blossom, emphasized the significance of treating each remaining diversion as a knockout. To secure a playoff spot, RCB needs to win all seven more matches to reach 16 focuses. Be that as it may, indeed, that might not be adequate if they’re tied with other groups, considering their destitute net run rate. In past IPL seasons with more than 8 groups, 16 focuses have been the least for playoffs. The Bangalore side themselves missed out in 2013 despite coming to 16 focuses due to a lower net run rate. It’s an extreme road ahead for RCB, confronting four previous champions in their remaining seven matches.
