One thing about Gaikwad, unless I'm mistaken, last season was his first full one in the IPL. So this season there's plenty of data available to teams to formulate strategies. Might not necessarily be ways to get a player out but areas to bowl that a player is weak in scoring. With the advent of data driven analysis, I think you might see a lot of players have great first seasons and then struggle in season 2 or 3 and maybe disappear. Other factors could play a part, like
@SaiSrini mentioned, but I think players might burn bright early in their careers before struggling somewhat and the emphasis will be on them to turn it around.
As for RCB. Moeen got out in the 7th over and CSK were 36 for 2 (I'm sure I looked over from preparing my tea that Uthappa was about 20 from 20). So many teams seem to just hit out when faced with a big target. Yet we consistently see, if you get to Squiggly Instarmart Fast & Furious Five with wickets in hand, teams can get close to bigger scores. You want Maxi there at over 15 where he can clearly the boundary at will not out before the power play is barely over.
I love teams going hard but sometimes it seems so braindead.
