Former England pacer Stuart Broad said that Royal Challengers Bengaluru was an uneven team after they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 29, Friday.

Kolkata kept up their strong play at RCB's home ground by winning their sixth straight game there. They were also the first away team this season to win a game on the home field of the other team. They lost their second game of the season, this time to KKR, who beat them easily by 7 wickets.

Broad talked about the problems with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) bowling team and emphasised the mistakes in strategy that cost them the game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Broad used the fact that bowlers like Andre Russell and Harshit Rana used cuts and slower balls because the pitch was slow to back up what he was saying. The KKR openers made it hard for the RCB bowlers to do the same because they stuck to pace.

"In times like that you want to heap praise on KKR, you know six visits in a row they've taken a victory in Bengaluru. You have to look at the RCB bowling too, just watch KKR bowl cutters and slower balls and into the pitch, very difficult to one of the best batters ever, Virat Kohli, who wasn't able to time the ball consistently throughout. And then they come on and bowl with a lot of pace on, which disappeared to the boundary, they bowled short and were predictable," Broad told Star Sports.

"But that's the issue with RCB. I think their batting for many years has been strong, and they've got star power there, but then their bowling unit doesn't seem to be able to stand up and win them games. It looks like a slightly unbalanced team and, in my personal opinion, they've got their overseas players spot on, and sometimes it takes a humbling loss like that at home to sharpen your focus and make you realise how you should be playing."
