Batters Doing The Work
The RCB is Third on the IPL points table with 6 wins in 9 matches. The most important aspect of this year’s campaign is Virat Kohli’s struggling form returning to T20 cricket even after he announced his retirement from T20 cricket in 2024. With 392 runs in 9 matches, Kohli has managed to show his prowess as an allrounder batter who has the ability to shift gears across all different formats of the game. Also the opening pair of Phil Salt and Virat Kohli offers a great start to the team with making full use of the powerplay.
The return of Devdutt Padikkal and the induction of young Rajat Patidar as the captain has boost the team’s overall performance. Inclusion of big hitters like Liam Livingstone and Tim David has also ignited team’s ability to score runs in death overs.

Spin-Pace Combo Doing The Job
The return of Bhuvneshwar Kumar has boosted the team’s psychological moral with his experience and expertise to offer to the team. Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood restricts the battes from one end and complements Bhuvneshwar Kumar very well. Other than Kumar and Hazlewood, young spinner Suyash Sharma has kept the RCB going and creating impact with the ball.
