Reason for the streak? – The main reason for this is the settled batting order of the team. RCB has crossed the 200+ run mark five times this season. In the matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, they chased 287 and 222 runs respectively. They lost to Hyderabad by 25 runs and to Kolkata by 1 run. Both these defeats must have hurt. At the same time, the runs scored in these would have given us the confidence that 'we can do this'.

Will Jacques, Rajat Pattidar and others are playing in support of Virat Kohli who is scoring runs as a lone player.

Cameron Green is showing his all-round ability. Siraj is swinging the ball fast. He is supported by Ferguson and Yash Dayal. Both Karan Sharma and Swapnil Singh are showing accuracy in spin.

RCB will have to win the match against CSK on the 18th at any cost. Mainly there is a need to see an improvement in the run rate compared to CSK. Only then can we move forward in the play-offs.' Will Jacques returned to the country for the England series. Vaishak Vijaykumar and Alsari Joseph failed to perform as expected.

RCB's consistent victory can boost their morale to overcome all these challenges.
