Bangalore: The Royal Challengers Bangalore are in more than a spot of bother. Eight points from 10 matches isn’t a scenario they would have planned for at the start of the season, not with the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Shane Watson in the house but then if the stars are not aligned properly, then just having them around won’t do.
