1) RCB dropped gambhir 3 times. 2) zaheer bowled wrong lines, 3) feilding changes weren't proper even after gambhir hitting ball in same places like longoff, deep extracover, deep coverpoint. 4) other RCB bowlers didn't bowl well too. 5) RCB batsmen scorred very less in first 10 overs, they shud have opened innings with agarwal as pinch hitter. 6) Gayle started firing too late, he shud have started at over 10 itself rather 16-17. 7) sloppy fielding, missed few run outs as well.
KKR should shuffle a few players to become more strong. pathan should be dropped, & laxmi ratan shukla brought permanently into the team,shukla is a better fielder & also a big hitter. similarly narain should play all matches,his bowling is difficult to read, & thus he has the best economy rate in this edition of IPL. incase of RCB it appears they have no bowler who can stop the flow of runs except vettori, thus murali should play.
My analysis of RCB's playing: Fielding is very slack and not sharp Bowlers, especially Zaheer and Vinay Kumar concede more runs. I fail to understand why Muralidharan is not considered in place of Zaheer or Vinay. Although batting line is very good, no player is playing with the required grit and challenge. Kohli appears to be not in form When great cricketers like Kumble and others are guiding there should be no reason for RCB to loose so 4 matches. In a nutshell, RCB is playing sloppily

muralidaran is an overseas player so he cannot replace zaheer or vinay.. its the point tht a batsman needs to step up and tk responibility tht rcb shud focus on
RCB are a great team, but just like South Africa, big time chokers. Even with 11 performers, they have the ability of lose crucial matches :) KKR seems to be having a good time, its s1ckular owner SRK is on cloud-9......
