I’m a 2nd year CSE student and the last 1–2 months have been really rough mentally, academically, and physically. It started when I went to check my internal papers with my friend and saw a big drop in my marks compared to him and a class topper. That hit my confidence hard, especially socially since I already don’t talk much to people, especially girls. I went into study leave wanting to prove myself in end sems, but I procrastinated initially, then pushed hard in the last few days. My health got messed up (acidity, no sleep, skipped meals, even had to go to hospital), and it affected one of my exams badly.

On top of that, I faced what I genuinely feel was unfair checking in one subject where I expected much higher but got very low, and the teacher didn’t handle it well when I raised it. My final result is around 62.5%, while my friend got ~70% and another guy who previously had backlogs got ~79%. That comparison is messing with my head. Also socially, I feel like I’m getting left behind—my friend is bonding with others, talking about coding/internships with them, and I feel excluded. I just got home after 6 months and I want to use this 1-month vacation to completely reset myself (academics, coding, confidence, health), but right now I feel stuck, overwhelmed, and behind everyone. Any advice on how to rebuild from this phase and come back stronger?

GT have mastered the art of batting in Namo Stadium which is better than RCB batsman but what makes them a push ahead is their batsmen ability to find gaps and hit fours, they maximize the pp and try to play proper cricketing shots as its a huge ground and going to hit sixes will be risky and will drain a lot of energy both Sai and Gill try playing grounded shots and hardly go for sixes, but as RCB batsmen home ground is Chinnaswamy their temperament is to hit big sixes all Salt, Rajat, Tim and Romario tend to flight balls which will be a flop strategy in Ahmedabad, Kohli knows this and scores well due to his awareness but other batsman will most probably get caught on the boundary lines, bowling wise both RCB and GT are equal Rcb players should shift their approach and try batting till deep end that's the trick in Ahmedabad and quickfires won't work

Tbh after salt I just don't visualize beating mumbai, as usual or middle order is going to choke making a below par score and Rickelton/Rohit/Surya is going to bash us,

Any one between Rajat, DDP or Tim would play decently

It's High time to take tough calls and Drop (kick) Jitesh and Romario, we should make Jordan Cox play in as Wk in middle order and Venky as 5/6,enough leverage towards non performing liabilities a L today would kick us out of Top 2 and qualifying would be too calculated, tbh I don't see RCB winning against SRH and PBKS

Better to make Tim+Bethell+Venky bowl atleast 2-3 overs against probable matchups,

Virat, Bethell, DDP, Rajat, Venky, Jordan Cox,Tim, Krunal, Suyash, Bhuvi, Hazlewood and 12-Rasikh

Since Salty is out it's a huge blow for RCB, as we are proceeding towards change why not full change the order making Venky and Cox to start dropping Romario and Jitesh, cox is a good finisher,RCB should try to keep 5 bowlers ie Rasikh, Suyash, Bhuvi, Hoff and Kp in the starting 11 so we don't compromise anyone in collapse and make Tim+Bethell+Venky bowl atleast 2-3 overs combined
