Kohli was in poor form this season, but still he scored a total of 341 runs with an average of 22.73. Riyan Parag on the other hand has played the same number of matches (16) and he has scored less than half as much runs as Kohli. I don't understand the point of keeping him in the team as a specialist batsmen, when Karun Nair is not being given any chances. I heard that Sanju Samson has some issues with Karun and that is the reason why he is not being given any chances. Anyway, as long as they are winning matches, these issues will remain under the radar.

Not taking Riyan Parag's side but his comparison with Virat is bit weird.
Virat opened a inning and sometimes bats at 3, which means he had more balls to face in every match. On the other hand Parag bats at number 6 position and only gets to bat limited amount of balls so it's kinda obvious he's not going to outscore Kohli. Even Dinesh karthik who was in God Mode throughout this season scored less runs than Kohli.

Not the best comparison I have to say, and that is exactly because of the reason you mentioned.
Another obvious reason why most middle-order batsmen cannot score too many runs is that when they come out to bat they generally don't have the time to get settled. They have to swing their bat at almost everything. On the other hand, the top-order batsman certainly has some time to get settled. So, it is really easy to understand why Virat Kohli obviously has a better statistic in this comparison.

That's the beauty of team, if team is performing good then underperforming players are also covered and no one noticed that. RCB kept Kohli despite the fact he was a complete failure because team itself was performing too good. If RR wins the title tomorrow who will remember performance of Parag.

A memorable season for the RCB. Despite playing poor cricket, they reached Eliminator 2. Uncapped players saved the day with life-saving contributions, while the big guns misfired with the bat. Newly acquired players saved the day when their retained players flopped. While the RCB bowling attack is decent this time, there are some issues that need to be addressed. Mohammed Siraj's bowling damages their decent bowling attack a lot in playoffs also Kholi fails to perform. Both were gifts from opposing teams. While Buttler completely humiliated the RCB bowling attack, RR made it to the final.

Kohli is a complete mis fit whether it's Indian national squad or IPL. His performance for last 2 to 3 years is continuously on decline and its high time for BCCI to decide whether they will continue with kohli or give some chance to new talent. RCB overall performance in IPL is satisfactory they were 30 to 40 runs short in there last match and that's what caused them the match.

All retained player are growing old and clumsy. They are still cashing out on their name. I haven't seen them contributing a lot in this season. It's time for that these players should be dropped and new players get more opportunities.

RCB came into action very late of this season and still they managed to played the playoffs due to the contribution of new talents. I was expecting them to win the second qualifier but Josh Butler had other plans. Finals would be intresting to watch.

One thing I don't know about Rajasthan Royals is that they persist with non-performing players without any logic. The perfect example is that of Riyan Parag. No one knows why he is in the team. He has scored a total of 168 runs in 16 matches at an average of 16.80. And he has bowled a total of 4 overs, conceding 59 runs, while taking one wicket (economy rate of 14.75 runs per over). On top of that, he has behaved like a monkey on the field, abusing the opponent players. And yesterday also, he dropped some easy catches.

Along with its bad luck it was the low score that ended up losing against Rajasthan Royals. The team that was able to score 200+ runs against LSG wasn't able to score the required run. Losing the toss, the performance of Jos Butler throughout the ongoing season and the lack of bowling from RCB. Rajasthan won the first season of IPL and probably will collect the trophy this time.

Rajasthan Royals missed some simply catches in the field and i thought it is going to be a lucky day for them but Prasidh Krishna and Obed McCoy changed the match upside down by picking up wickets in the final overs and restricting the flow of runs and Jos Buttler continues his sublime form and i wish Rajasthan Royals win the tournament in memory of Shane Warne.

I look forward to watching today's match between Rajasthan and Bangalore. In the first match against Rajasthan this season, Bangalore easily won by batting for 170 runs. But in the second match, Bangalore lost all their wickets for just 115 runs after batting for only 145 runs given by Rajasthan.
However, Bangalore is now a very stable team. The players are consistently playing well. Bangalore also played very well against Gujarat in the last match. So my favorite in today's match is Bangalore

RCB set a low target today and lost the match. Kohli has failed again today with his batting performance. Rajasthan has easily won the match by 7 wickets. Jos Buttler got his 4th hundred today in this IPL season. He also got 4 fifties in this IPL season. Rajasthan will play the final match against Gujarat Titans. Gujarat has a very strong squad, but I'm expecting to see Rajasthan as a winner of this round. They have pretty well balanced team.

Above all Royal Challengers Bangalore is an unlucky team to enter the finals. In the past RCB have reached three finals and have lost all. In 2009 against Deccan Chargers, against CSK in 2011, during the 2016 season finals RCB lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad. This time it is expected much, because of it being one of the old team that hasn't won a title.

I was optimistic that this year RCB will play in the final, whether the final wins or not the winner will at least go to the final. But like every year, this year too their luck did not help. When a team fails like this every year, it makes everyone wonder why this is so or whether luck is more important here! Now is a bad time for RCB fans. It remains to be seen how RCB will start their journey next year.

I don't think Bangalore is unlucky. If they were unlucky, they would not have qualified for the semi-finals. If Delhi had won their last match, Bangalore would have failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Had Patidar not played well against Lucknow, Bangalore would have definitely lost. Bangalore qualified for the semi-finals only for Patidar's unbeaten innings of 112 off 53 balls. Otherwise, would not have qualified for more playoffs

We knew that RCB's bowling lineup was not strong enough. And so to win against Rajasthan, they must have played the role of batsmen. But the performance of the batsmen of Bangalore was not good. Du Plessis' strike was less than 100 at night. On the other hand, the performance of no other batsman except Patidar and Maxwell was good. It was very difficult to win against a strong team like Rajasthan with a target of only 158 runs.

Total run was too low to fight against RR because the bowling lineup of RCB isn't good enough. Batsmen of RCB should play well but they didn't manage to play well what they actually needed. RR has played so well what they plays regularly and special Butler was fantastic as usual.

I was actually thinking that RCB is going to lose their last match because I knew for a fact that Virat Kohli is not going to perform in that match. But RCB broke me wrong and they also proved that they are not absolutely crippled without Virat Kohli. Honestly, it was a one-man show from the RCB. I still believed that LSG had a good chance of winning if they could start well but that did not happen. They actually played well and got really close in the end but a target of 207 runs is just a little too much in a t20 match.

RCB is definitely not a one man army. Despite the poor form from Virat, they have done quite well in this season so far. Rajat Patidar was fabulous during the last match, while Maxwell, Hasaranga and Harshal Patel have performed well this time. Crucial contributions also came from Josh Hazlewood, Faf du Plessis and Dinesh Karthik. In short, I would say that they performed better than what was expected from them. But they have two more challenges before they could lift the trophy. It needs to be seen whether they can break the jinx.

But you have to agree that they would have lost the match if Patidar played like other players. They did not win by a very big margin, most probably a narrow win.
I understand that target was so big the RCB bowlers could actually afford to relax a little bit in the end, I have to say their opponent actually got really close.

Rajat Patidar is in the form again, on the other hand, Maxwell also looks great. Two of them got a great partnership so far, looks interesting. Patidar scored 130 and still 4 overs left.
