Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan believes that Royal Challengers Bangalore will have to sort their middle order immediately as other than Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell, no other cricketer is contributing enough with the bat. The 38-year-old also criticized Dinesh Karthik for not contributing at all, be it while batting first or during a chase.
“RCB will have to find a solution that if KGF (Kohli, Glenn, Faf) do not work then who will steer the team through troubled waters? Whether Dinesh Karthik or Mahipal Lomror,” Pathan said on Star Sports.
“RCB’s middle order looks very weak. Karthik could not prove even once in the last 8 matches that the team can rely on him for big scores or during chases. RCB management will have to fix this loophole in their batting,” the former cricketer added.
