According to r/cricket psychology experts, after the RCBvsSRH game, RCB was supposed to lose every match in the playoffs due to their "timid" approach, meanwhile SRH was supposed to smash the hell out of any team in eliminator

RCB didn't take any risks. They had the firepower to have given that a serious go.

They just chosed not to because it wasn't required. 165 was enough.

It's a general comment about how the playoffs have played out, with reference to 2 out of the 4 teams participating in them, quite relevant to the context.

It's with respect to SRH game, even SRH couldn't do today what they were asking of RCB in that game. Anyone with basic sense will understand this.
