Shortcomings of RCB

1. Middle order crisis
If VK AB fail, batting is doomed

2. Psychological disadvantage/mental barrier facing CSK, SRH, KKR esp Away, with all merciless beatings of the past
Need mental strength to start afresh with new slate
3. Bowling woes
Bowling is a major concern since 2016
No leader to lead the pace line
Current squad has better option easily
Morris hasn't been great in last 2 seasons although massive upgrade in leading the line compared to others in prev years
4. Dressing room culture

Major factor in team's success
Ownership issues and all adding to careless attitude within the group was one of the major reasons for downfall in prev years
Mike and Simon should be bringing that minimal discipline reqd in the dressing room that lacked
5. Lack of leader figure in dressing room
If you have watched "Cricket Fever" you would know how much of a leader figure Pollard is in MI camp
He is literally ready to do anything team asks him to
Apart from AB VK,there was Tim Southee who showed shades of it, apart from that
6. Understanding of responsibility+backing

Players assigned to a particular task should be
Chops and changes plays a part with unconscious mind thinking about the sack

7. Upcoming youngster promotion
Don't see many youngies getting promoted like other teams constantly
