Well RCB is known for having big names in their side. The likes of Gayle, McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Shane Watson, KL Rahul have all played for RCB in the previous seasons. But yet they don’t have the trophy in their kitty. RCB has finished as runner up in the IPL thrice. One common thing about RCB in every season is that they always had a explosive batting line up but it’s the bowling department that has struggled every year. But then this year the Management has finally understood what they’ve been doing wrong in the previous seasons and they have made some smart picks from the auction.
Moreover RCB has changed their coaching staff as they have introduced Simon Katich as their Head Coach, Mike Hesson as the director of cricket operations, Adam Griffith as the bowling coach. If we look at the squad for this season once again we’ll find a lot of big names like Aussie skipper Aaron Finch, Proteas All rounder Chris Morris, Srilankan Pacer Isuru Udana, Aussie spinner Adam Zampa (replacement for Kane Richardson) along side the likes of Virat, AB , Yuzi Chahal ,Moeen Ali ,Shivam Dubey, Navdeep Saini ,Umesh Yadav and many more .
Strength:
- Explosive batting line up which includes Finch, Virat, ABD, Moeen, Morris.
- Variety in bowling line up which includes Steyn, Morris, Udana, Saini, Umesh, Yuzi, Sundar, Negi, Shabaz, Zampa.
- Exciting all rounders like Dubey, Sundar, Negi, Shabaz, Gurkeerat.
- Addition of Finch can provide assistance to virat in captaincy.
- Exciting young talents like Devdutt and Philippe in the squad.
Weakness:
- Concern about form of players since they have been away from competitive cricket for a while.
- Inexperienced lower middle order.
- Concern about Steyn and ABD’s fitness
- Too much pressure on Virat and Abd.
- Death bowling concerns
Players to watch out for:
Well apart from Virat and AB, a lot of eyes will be on Aaron finch. As he is not only the Aussie skipper but also World no 3 t20i batsman. One has to see how Devdutt Padikkal will perform as he did very well in the domestic season for Karnataka. Srilankan pacer Isuru Udana might come up as a dark horse later in the tournament once the pitches start slowing down. Josh Philippe is young and talented but might find it difficult to get a place in the Xl but even he is talented.
