RCB Struggling In IPL 2024

As far as RCB's form in IPL 2024 is concerned, it hasn't been as impressive as they would have liked resulting in just a solitary win from 4 matches. Even though Virat Kohli is leading the run-getters' chart this season in the tournament, the team has failed to perform as a unit which is why they find themselves languishing at the bottom half of the table with 2 points from 4 matches.
