Another day and another hefty defeat for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The side, which has had T20 legends like Ab de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Glenn Maxwell, and Virat Kohli, has chased a total of over 200 just once in the last 17 years.
Chasing 223 against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, RCB fell short by a tantalizing margin of 1 run. Adding another entry to their unfortunate losing tally. Interestingly, the last team the franchise chased down a 200+ target was in 2010, against the Chennai Super Kings. As of now, their drought continues.
