Royal Challengers Bangalore's bad times in IPL 2024 are far from over. Faf du Plessis-led RCB suffered a humiliating seven-wicket defeat with 27 balls remaining at the hands of Mumbai Indians in the 25th match of IPL 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

Royal Challengers Bangalore batted first in the match and scored 196 runs losing 8 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Mumbai Indians achieved the target by losing three wickets in just 15.3 overs. After RCB's defeat, captain Faf du Plessis admitted that his team's bowling department was weak.

Faf du Plessis said that his team's bowling attack has failed to challenge the opposition camp.

RCB will depend more on its batsmen to make a comeback in the remaining season.
