RCB has not been able to reach the final since IPL 2016.
The last few weeks have been good for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The women’s team won the second edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL). After that an Unbox event was organized in front of a packed audience at M Chinnaswamy Stadium which was quite successful. IPL 2024 Faf du Plessis and Co. are all set to take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opening match of the 2024 season at Chepauk on Friday, March 22.teen
Bengaluru has not reached the IPL final since the 2016 edition, not only this, it could not even reach the playoffs last season. However, this season the franchise will try to win its first title by any means. In this article, we will talk about three reasons why RCB deserves to win IPL 2024.
1. RCB has strong bench strength
Over the past few years, RCB has not been known for its bench strength at all. When some of their players do not perform well, Think Tank always struggles to pick players who can immediately enter the field and make an impact.
This time things may be a little different for them. Before starting the campaign, RCB has included some more players in the team including Will Jacques who can perform well for the team when the time comes. English player Will Jacques has been in great form recently. Apart from this, they have other foreign players like Lockie Ferguson, Reece Topley and Tom Curran for backup.
In the Indian department too, they will have two of Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror and Suyyash Prabhudesai waiting for their chances.
2. RCB’s bowling looks strong despite not having many names
If you look at the RCB squad, their bowling attack looks weaker than last year. They left out players like Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga and Josh Hazlewood. While it’s true that these names aren’t there, there’s still a lot of talent in that department. Yash Dayal was one of Bengaluru’s major buys in the IPL 2024 auction. This left-arm bowler is a talented bowler who can swing the new ball.
Dayal will be accompanied by Akash Deep and Vijaykumar. Let us tell you that Akash Deep recently made his debut for India and impressed everyone. Himanshu is a talented bowler, who can do wonders with this season ball, in such a situation, ignoring the bowling order of RCB can prove to be a big mistake for the opposition team.
3. RCB’s top order is full of powerhitters
After trading Cameron Green from Mumbai Indians, RCB have several powerhitters in the top five who will be their biggest strength in IPL 2024. The thing is, all five are right-handers, which may make them a little vulnerable against left-arm spin and leg-spin, but the truth of the matter is that the lineup has power-hitting ability.
RCB has strong batsmen like Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell in the top order, who can turn the tide of any match with their batting.
