Harbhajan Singh has expressed his anger about the RCB bowlers.
RCB is facing continuous defeats in IPL 2024. Due to very poor bowling of RCB, SRH managed to score the highest score of IPL against them on their own home ground. Batting first, Hyderabad scored 287 runs for 3 wickets. In the same season, Sunrisers made a new record of 277 runs for three wickets against Mumbai Indians on March 27 and Hyderabad broke its own record against RCB.
Thanks to Travis Head’s aggressive century and captain Pat Cummins’ brilliant performance, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 25 runs. Heinrich Klaasen scored a quickfire 67 without Head’s maiden T20 century. All the bowlers of RCB were washed out in this match. Everyone was surprised by RCB’s bowling. Compared to all the other IPL teams, RCB’s bowling has been very average this season.
In reply, RCB batsmen also batted brilliantly and scored 262 runs for seven wickets. On this pitch, Cummins took three wickets for 43 runs. In this IPL match, 549 runs were scored in 40 overs, which is the highest score in T20I.
RCB’s defeat is very shameful
RCB’s defeat against Hyderabad was their fifth consecutive defeat this season. After facing defeat in 6 out of 7 matches, Bengaluru’s path to reach the play-offs has become difficult. Despite the presence of Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, RCB’s fortunes this season have also been disappointing. Not only the fans but also many former veterans are surprised to see such performance of the RCB team.
“…I will take 2-3 wickets”: Harbhajan Singh
While talking on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan Singh has expressed his anger about the RCB bowlers. He says that not a single bowler is able to take the responsibility of taking wickets.
“RCB’s troubles are increasing. There were discussions going on about his bowling line-up after the auction and now he might be realizing it. He made the highest score so far in IPL. I agree that the surface was for the batsmen but any bowler has to raise his hand and say, I will get you two or three wickets.”
Lockie Ferguson took two wickets for 52 runs, while Yash Dayal gave away 51 runs without taking a single wicket. Vijaykumar Vaishyak gave 64 runs in four overs but he also did not get any wicket. Reece Topley took 1 wicket and gave 68 runs.
