When you go through RCB’s batting line up, they have everything that can easily make them a winner. You look at Virat Kohli, RCB skipper and one of the best batsmen in the world and then, there is AB De Villiers- ace cricketer and IPL’s second player to score the highest number of sixes. Such cannot be said for the bowling side which lacks lustre. Cricket is a team game and do RCB have the team that will lift the trophy this year? Let’s find out-
Strengths
RCB have an impeccable batting unit led by formidable players like Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers, and Shimron Hetmyer. All three players can drive the whole team to victory alone. If each of them manages to win one match, RCB can go a long way in the IPL 2019. But, it’s AB De Villiers on whom the stakes are high. One of the fittest and a breathtakingly superb player, AB De Villiers solely can take the RCB to playoffs.
Weakness
The opposite is also true. Although RCB has strong batting front, the bowling department is not looking good on paper. They have been carrying the same weakness since the beginning of the IPL, and this year too, they are falling short on the bowling front. Over dependency on batsmen can cut short their journey to victory.
