"Choking likes us, we can't avoid it, bunch of batting clowns!"- Fans slam RCB batting for failing two games in a row in IPL 2022

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batters dished out an underwhelming performance for the second game in a row as they failed to chase down a modest target of 145 against the Rajasthan Royals (RR). The two sides faced off on Tuesday, April 26.A crucial half-century from Riyan Parag proved to be the difference between the two sides. RCB were bowled out for just 115, falling 29 runs short of RR's total. Once again the top-order failed and, this time, there was no rescue act from the likes of Shahbaz Ahmed and Dinesh Karthik.The last two losses have also dented Bangalore's net run rate heavily and it is now the second-worst (-0.572) in the league after that of the Mumbai Indians (-1.000).Fans on Twitter were disappointed to see RCB lose comprehensively while chasing down what looked to be a target below par on a decent batting pitch. Some also took a dig at Faf du Plessis and his men for bottling from what looked like a winning position at the halfway stage of the game.Here are some of the reactions:arfan@Im__ArfanIt's funny how people think rcb had great batting lineup Literally 1-2 guys for last 3-4 years. twitter.com/vlp1994/status…Vinesh Prabhu@vlp1994All these years, RCB's batting was top-notch and bowlers used to choke This year, their bowling is top-notch and the batsmen are choking!RCB re RCB #IPL202216611All these years, RCB's batting was top-notch and bowlers used to choke This year, their bowling is top-notch and the batsmen are choking!RCB re RCB #IPL2022It's funny how people think rcb had great batting lineup 😭 Literally 1-2 guys for last 3-4 years. twitter.com/vlp1994/status…🏴@sauceeburnerrmf you thought I run only a youtube channel ? the first thing I ran was through rcb's batting lineup634108mf you thought I run only a youtube channel ? the first thing I ran was through rcb's batting lineup https://t.co/9OC7ShwzLzGagan Chawla@toecrushrzzz67 all out games don't hurt the franchise and fans that much...its the unsuccessful chases of 140, and still falling short by 30 odd runs, which make you tear your hair!A game gone abegging!A game that #rcb should have won!47667 all out games don't hurt the franchise and fans that much...its the unsuccessful chases of 140, and still falling short by 30 odd runs, which make you tear your hair!A game gone abegging!A game that #rcb should have won!Cricketjeevi@wildcardgyanRCB had potential tournament winning teams in both the 2nd half of 2021 and in 2022.They have Finn Allen on bench but can't play him because they have committed to a glorified anchor as Captain.And Hesson masterclass &amp; Fraudviz can't get batting matchups &amp; entry points right.446RCB had potential tournament winning teams in both the 2nd half of 2021 and in 2022.They have Finn Allen on bench but can't play him because they have committed to a glorified anchor as Captain.And Hesson masterclass &amp; Fraudviz can't get batting matchups &amp; entry points right.best girl | IPL era@awkdiptihow RCB has messed this up is beyond me796how RCB has messed this up is beyond me https://t.co/rDm9IKcq2QAkash Kumar Jha@Akashkumarjha14Seems as if none of the RCB Batters took science after passing class 10th.Ash Anna all over them with his theorems and all.#IPL2022131Seems as if none of the RCB Batters took science after passing class 10th.Ash Anna all over them with his theorems and all.#IPL2022Gurkirat Singh Gill@gurkiratsgillRCB should be very disappointed with this result.

However, once again, luck didn't favor the former skipper as he had to depart for just nine runs.Rajat Patidar was brought into the side to probably take the attack to the bowlers at No. 3. However, he looked rusty and that put pressure on skipper du Plessis to make use of the powerplay.Although the 37-year-old scored some boundaries, young pacer Kuldeep Sen bowled what was arguably a match-defining over. He dismissed both du Plessis and the dangerous Glenn Maxwell off consecutive deliveries and RR got just the start they wanted in the powerplay.There was just no respite for the RCB batters as Ravichandran Ashwin sent back Patidar. The veteran off-spinner also dismissed Suyash Prabhudessai and once again it was down to Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed to pull off a miracle.Karthik, as usual, tried to keep the scoreboard ticking and take the chase deep. However, his run-out put RR firmly in the ascendency. From that point on, the wheels just came off as far as Bangalore were concerned and RR ended up with a compehensive win.Catch the latest IPL live score here on Sportskeeda!
