ver-reliance on Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers has cost them another IPL season The year is 2025 and the IPL season has just concluded with another disappointing finish for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Despite having a star-studded lineup that includes the likes of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and some promising young talents, RCB once again failed to live up to expectations and missed out on a playoff spot. One of the main reasons for RCB's underwhelming performance this season was their over-reliance on their two stalwarts, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. While both players have been incredibly consistent and have delivered match-winning performances in the past, their form dipped this season and they were unable to carry the team on their shoulders like they have done in the past. Another issue that plagued RCB this season was their lack of depth in the squad. Apart from Kohli and de Villiers, the team struggled to find consistent performers in both the batting and bowling departments. This lack of support for their star players meant that RCB often found themselves in difficult situations during matches and were unable to turn things around. Despite these setbacks, there were some bright spots for RCB this season. Youngsters like Devdutt Padikkal and Mohammed Siraj showed glimpses of their potential and gave fans hope for the future. However, their performances were not enough to make up for the shortcomings of the team as a whole. As RCB reflects on another disappointing season, they will need to address their over-reliance on Kohli and de Villiers and focus on building a more balanced squad that can perform consistently across all departments. With the IPL becoming more competitive with each passing season, RCB can no longer afford to rely solely on their star players if they want to have a shot at lifting the trophy in the future.
