Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been one of the most dominant sides in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) since its inception in 2008. But the team is yet to lift the trophy as several issues have marred their success with the primary one being their ineffective bowling.

RCB's Virat Kohli (79 off 48 balls), AB de Villiers (55 in 33) and Shane Watson (33 in 19) came good, but the inability of their later order batsmen to sustain the momentum provided by the top order, came back to haunt them against the Delhi Daredevils (DD). The final 4 overs were a damp squib as they added just 27 runs during this match-defining period.

David Weise and Kedar Jadav struggled to work the ball off the square. Moreover, in-form Kohli was stuck at the non-striker's end for most of the 17th over, decidedly the moment when DD were able to claw their way back into the match.

In spite of posting a total of 191, their lightweight bowling attack hardly made a difference, as DD's South African player Quinton de Kock smashed a belligerent 51-ball 108 to floor RCB.

RCB would now face tough opponents in Pune, Mumbai, Gujarat and Hyderabad. They have to look at their bowling attack. Barring Watson, no other bowler looks potent. Weise was a great disappointment and de Kock and Karun hammered him at will.
