Virat Kohli is still struggling with his form. He should just relax a bit. Muralitharan must continue. His experience and guile can lift the other bowlers,\u201d writes the former Australian batsman about the Royal Challengers Bangalore, stating that it is the bowling that has been hurting Bangalore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir bowling economy rate is 8.6. They are bleeding all over the place. Chris Gayle has been scoring runs but they are not winning as much they should,\u201d writes Dean Jones, adding that Mumbai Indians would be the favourites against RCB at Wankhade. <\/p>\n<p>According to an article in <strong>Hindustan Times, <\/strong>even after Royal Challengers dropped the off-colour Vinay Kumar, who they bought for a staggering $1 million at the auction, and skipper Daniel Vettori, yet their bowling failed to impress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has not been a one-off occurrence. Despite the presence of big names, the RCB bowlers have flattered to deceive by conceding over 180 runs in five of their 11 games so far. Also, it isn\u2019t often that a team fails to defend over 200 in a T20 game. RCB managed even that, as they allowed the Super Kings to overhaul 205 in Chennai at the start of the tournament,\u201d says a report in <strong>HT.<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>\u201cOur bowling and fielding are areas we have to keep an eye on. In a tournament like this, it is important that all the departments click,\u201d said Tillakaratne Dilshan.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile <strong>DNA <\/strong>writes that a remarkable turnaround can do wonders. Citing Mumbai\u2019s example, DNA writes that Mumbai Indians have been blowing hot and cold this season and the close win against Chennai Super Kings may have fuelled their self-belief. \u201cNow, they take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in a high-octane first leg clash. It\u2019s a crucial contest as every side has an eye on the points table. IPL V is nearing its business end. A victory for Mumbai would up their tally to 16 with four games left and help them draw level with Delhi Daredevils, though with one match less in hand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AB de Villiers was ridiculously good the other day, writes Dean Jones in his column in The Times Of India, adding that he can\u2019t remember such ball-striking since Viv Richards wielded his magic wand. \u201cEven Viv wouldn\u2019t have attempted some of those shots.
