Before RCB Vs RR match, Rajat Patidar asked: why is Bangalore losing their home matches?

Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) In 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have not yet won a single match at their home, ie M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. On the other hand, the team has won all the five out of their five outspoken matches. The story of all the three matches that have been lost so far in Chinnaswamy have been the same. The toss lost, had to bat first, the initial wickets fell quickly, the score was reduced and then could not defend it because in the second inning, the batting became easier due to dew. Now once again RCB has to play home matches, which will be played against Rajasthan Royals today, on 24 April.

In this season, only Liam Livingstone and Tim David have been such batsmen in Chinnaswamy who have scored one half-century each. While the team has scored a total of 9 fifty scores, which have been in all outside grounds. A major problem of the team has been that they tried to play aggressively in the powerplay on domestic pitches very quickly. But, the pitches here were not as easy as before. RCB is losing one wicket on every 12 balls on domestic pitches. The intention remains the same but the results come out differently.

What did Patidar say on RCB’s performance?

Before the match from Rajasthan, batsman Rajat Patidar admitted that the bowlers are getting a lot of help in the first inning and they will have to work on shot selection.

Patidar said, “Yes, you are absolutely right, the shot selection is very important. This time the pitch is a little two types and the bounce is also getting different on every ball. In such a situation, the bowlers are getting a lot of help. Their ball is falling low, the bounce is also changing, so we should try to play more behind the square.”

Currently, RCB is at number four in the points table. The team has won 5 out of 8 matches so far. Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 7 wickets at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to return to the top 3 and reached above RCB.
