The visitors then fell short despite a fighting chase, eventually being bowled out for 207.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Analysing CSK\u2019s bowling effort, Rayudu pointed out that the issue was not merely planning, but the inability to deviate when things began to unravel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"More than a bad plan, they just stuck to that bad plan. There was nobody to intervene and to just take some time off, take those 20-30 seconds, just make it slightly more slow and then guide the bowler with a message. I think they should have slowed it down a little bit,\" Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>RCB\u2019s late surge, which saw them smash 97 runs in the final five overs, exposed CSK\u2019s struggles at the death. \"Their follow-up balls after a boundary or a six aren't great,\" Rayudu added. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"More than a bad plan, they just stuck to that bad plan. There was nobody to intervene and to just take some time off, take those 20-30 seconds, just make it slightly more slow and then guide the bowler with a message.
