IPL 2019: 3 teams that will not win the title this year
These teams have under-performed over the past few seasons.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Any team that is expected to win the title considering the line-up that they possess has to be Royal Challengers Bangalore. With likes of world-class players like Virat Kohli and de AB Villiers in their squad, it becomes quite difficult to count them out. But somehow, they do not live up to the expectations. They have the habit of faltering at crucial points. They crumble under pressure. They have now been touted as the chokers of the IPL.
They lack consistency which is the most important if a team has to win the IPL Trophy. They perform exceptionally in some matches whereas in others they perform disgustingly poor. They have lost close matches in the past seasons by choking at crucial junctures from a position of command.
Another problem that they have is the over-dependence on Kohli and de Villiers. These two players have the capability of taking the team over the line single-handedly. But when these two do not perform, their batting has a tendency of falling apart like a pack of cards.
Bangalore also lack backup options for their premium bowlers like Yuzvendra Chahal and Umesh Yadav. If by any chance any of them gets injured, the franchise would not have a fall-back option.
