Bengaluru: It's never easy to come back and perform, let alone win a cup after six consecutive loss in first six games for any team in any game. So is it all over for Virat Kohli-led Indian Premier League outfit in this season? Or they can come back and win their remaining matches to qualify for the next round of the tournament?
Mathematically Royal Challengers Bangalore can still reach the knockout stage. But it's not an easy route, as no team in the history of the cash-rich league have fought their way back into the tournament after losing six games on the spin.
So the hope is slender but the positive thing for Virat Kohli and RCB fans are that there is still a slim chance for them to reach the next round.
The simplest way to demonstrate a comeback in the tournament is to win remaining eight games to collect 16 points and play the playoffs.
The other option is to win at least seven games with a large margin to get the run rate better and hope no other teams show consistency.
But before making all these calculations, RCB needs to stop their losing streak and win their first game and then continue the momentum.
To win the remaining matches RCB needs to be at their best.
Will they be able to turn around their fortune?
