After recent match number 65 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025Between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), former cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar made a mathematical observation in terms of success in the shortest format of the game.
RCB went into the competition with a clear mentality and close to an inch to achieve a top-two finish. However, SRH's Ishan Kishan knocked an unbeaten 94 runs and a brilliant magic by Ashhan Malinga saw the Orange army victorious. Despite a solid start from Virat Kohli and Phil Salat, RCB struggled in the death overs, managed only 189 and faced a 42 -run defeat.
With that disadvantage, the RCB points slipped from the second to the third on the table, with risk of their top-two finish opportunities. Manjrekar reported that it was not just about this match, it was about a consistent tendency in the shortest format of the game. He mentioned that a team needs to be continuous success, they need to be several match winners and do not depend on only one or two heroes.
“To be a consistent T20 team you need many heroes, not one or two. Let's take a look at how different different players are potams for 4 playoff teams. GT – 5, RCB – 7, PBKS – 5, Mi – 7 HMM,” He wrote in a post on X.

Meanwhile, the performance of RCB was an ideal example when one or two people take responsibility. After a strong powerplay, thanks to Kohli and Salt, the franchise in Bangalore could not finish the game as they wanted. In the overs of death, the side collapsed by scoring just 22 runs compared to 63 of SRH.
Pacer Ishaan Malinga orchestrated Mini-Talk, because he removed the Romario Shepherd and Krunal PandyaEnded with 2/37 figures. In particular, his sharp fielding skills drove him out of RCB's nominated captain, Rajat Patidar.
