RCB are currently second on the points table with 7 wins in 11 matches, and the best net run rate in the league. Despite all this, there have been certain areas that have needed work and have come apart a little at times.
Although he played a starring role in RCB's maiden IPL title triumph in 2025, Jitesh Sharma has had a rough time in 2026. In 11 matches, Jitesh has batted in only 9 innings and made just 82 runs.
"Jitesh Sharma's form is an issue for RCB:" Ravichandran Ashwin
Ashwin spoke to ESPNCricinfo about the challenges currently facing RCB and whether there are any solutions to those.
"They were so far behind the game against LSG, and yet they were so close from knocking that off. I would say most teams, 100 for 4 chasing 13/14 an over would be reeling at that point of time. And RCB was, and they still found a way to get as close as they did. And I'm thinking they're still a very good side," he continued.
"I think they will get through. If you look at the inside part of RCB, what would they be telling themselves? They won a title, they're looking like a strong side. To me, RCB are going to be telling themselves, 'We are still a great shout to try and defend this title. Why really fix something that isn't broken?'," he added.
