The former champions have been poignant this season with four wins from nine matches they have played so far. While their side has looked fairly balanced, the results have not gone in their favour. On the other hand, the stars finally aligned for RCB, who had hit rock bottom as their performance was in sync against the fiery hot SRH, where Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar scored impressive half-centuries as well.
