Sanjay Bangar, the RCB Head Coach has been facing the ire of the fans as he insisted the team needs to be patient with the youngsters. Apparently, the team is facing quite a few problems in the ongoing IPL 2023. In the batting department, the likes of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell have done the heavy lifting. The middle and lower-middle order has been an issue.

Dinesh Karthik hasn't been able to replicate his previous year's performance. The likes of Suyash Prabhudesai, Mahipal Lomror, and Shahbaz Ahmed haven't been able to come up with match-winning performances with the bat. They recently signed Kedar Jadhav, who was busy doing Marathi commentary early in the tournament. In the bowling department, apart from Mohammed Siraj and Jos Hazlewood haven't done well enough.

This is the reason the team has lost some games which they might have won. Talking about the team, they have won only five out of 11 games. They now need to win their remaining three games to reach the playoffs. Meanwhile, the fans are trolling Bangar for this "you've to be patient with younger players. There's an example of Rinku Singh - this is Rinku's season. The kind of work KKR did with him in the last 3-4 years is now paying off," statement.
