RCB is still about individual brilliance: Aakash Chopra

Former Indian opening batter Aakash Chopra has opined that RCB is still heavily reliant on individual performances and is failing to pull off collective performances.

Ahead of RCB's clash against Mumbai Indians, Aakash Chopra previewed the Bangalore side on his YouTube channel and said:

"RCB should bring in Jamieson back for Wanindu Hasaranga. All said and done, this team is still about individual brilliance. Dushmanta Chameera can also be considered instead of Tim David and Navdeep Saini can make way for Shahbaz Ahmed.

"There is so much to think about because right from the first match they have been making too many changes, change has become their second name."

So far, both teams have suffered two losses in the second half. They will be desperate to win this contest.
