Royal Challengers Bengaluru is the only team yet to win at home this IPL season.

- Somshuvra Laha

KOLKATA: For a team packed with power hitters customized to clear one of the shortest boundaries in the IPL, this has to be a hard truth to swallow. Losing the toss in all three games was a damning factor at a ground where defending has historically been challenging. Not everything can be pinned down to the rub of the green though.

Tactically, RCB have been found wanting. From shot selection to leaving out Devdutt Paddikkal, RCB were shortchanged on many counts. And more stinging must have been the Chinnaswamy-specific form some of the former players have displayed. Mohammad Siraj in the Gujarat Titans game, KL Rahul in the loss to Delhi Capitals, Yuzvendra Chahal on Friday—the list keeps growing.
