Following his side’s six-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Andy Flower admitted that only one in-form batsman cannot rescue the team in a highly competitive tournament. Apart from the red-hot Virat Kohli, the league’s top-scorer this season with 316 runs from five matches, none of the recognised batsmen in the RCB team have managed to find their top form so far. On Saturday Kohli’s sparkling 113 not out off 72 balls went in vain as Rajasthan Royals batter Jos Buttler’s thunderous hundred handed the RCB their fourth defeat in…
