The Bangalore originated franchise, representing the state Karnataka is the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The team is one of the hot sections of the Indian Premier League but unfortunately did not grab any of the IPL trophies in the past. But the expectation of fans from the team is prominent due to the presence of legendary players like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Yuzi Chahal.

The team has a huge fan base and still owes a title to their fans. However, the spotlight is set on the team’s performance in 2021 and is expected to perform well. Below mentioned is a detailed breakdown of the team Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bear in mind that the analysis is only done based on facts and reports, so without wasting any dues, let’s get started.

History of the team

The name Royal Challengers Bangalore was named after a liquor brand. The team could not win any titles of the IPL in the past but have competed in the finals hard. The irony is that the highest score and lowest score in the entire history of IPL is achieved by this team only. Vijay Mallya was the Royal Challengers Bangalore owner, but the United Spirits held the team for some prominent reasons. The group consists of the greatest of all-time players like Virat Kohli, AB Devilliers, and many young talents.

Strengths of the team

As mentioned earlier, the highest score in the IPL history, which is 263, was scored by this team. This autonomously narrates the batting potential of the group. The 2021 auction went well for the team and accumulated some of the overseas and domestic deadliest batsmen, considering their current form. Proficient analysts and researchers have concluded that players Devdutt Padikkal and Joshua Philippe will bring out positive outcomes in the team.

The crucial highlight of the IPL auction is Glenn Maxwell. The player has excellent potential for both bowling and batting. Considering the form of Maxwell, his inclusion is an outstanding deal for Royal Challengers Bangalore players. Besides the main batting lineup, all-rounders like Washington Sundar, Daniel sams, and Harshal Patel have a great capacity to lead the match. Cricket lovers might be familiar with Washington Sundar’s performance in the past test and T-20 series, which is a piece of positive news for the RCB fans.

Final players of the team

Virat Kohli, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal, Devdutt Padikkal, Mohammed Siraj, Sachin baby, Shahbaz Ahmad, Rajat Patidar, KS Bharat, Harshal Patel, Prabhu Desai, Pavan Deshpande, AB de Villiers, Kane Richardson, Washington Sundar, Adam Zampa, Kylie Jamieson, Dan Christian, Daniel Sams, Joshua Philippe, Glenn Maxwell.

Weakness in the bowling unit

The only factor that lowers the chances of Royal Challengers Bangalore winning events is the weak bowling unit. The bowling attack of the royal challengers is a bit weak in contrast to the batting lineup. Fast bowlers like Mohamad Siraj were pretty expensive in the following season. Still, the player’s performance was exceptionally well in the test series and is again back in form. The only setback in the lines is that Kylie Jamieson has never experienced the Indian fields.

Navdeep Saini is a great fast bowler and performed well in the Dubai sessions of IPL. Players like Kane Richardson, Dan Christian, and Daniel Sams have a lesser experience of IPL matches as they did not get chances in the past of playing in IPL.

However, all of the bowlers have immense potential, and almost every player is currently in the right form. If the players perform up to their capability, Royal Challengers Bangalore coaches will set records this time.

Strong spin attack

In contrast to the fast bowler’s lineup, the spin lineup is a bit experienced and firm. The leading spinner of the team Yuzvendra Chahal has done some great wonders in the past and ruled the title of leading wicket-taker in few IPL sessions by owning a purple cap. The presence of an accurate spinner Washington Sundar assures the strength of the spin bowling lineup.

Cricket fans might have noticed that Indian pitches are just a blessing for the spinners, overseas spinners like Adam Zampa, Moeen Ali are potent in taking higher wickets in each match.

Strengths of the new addition

  • Glenn Maxwell – The lone annihilator

Glenn Maxwell is one of the deadliest all-rounders of all time and has the potential of leading the matches to victories alone. The 2014 IPL season was named after the performance of Glenn Maxwell performance. But in the 2020 IPL, Glenn Maxwell failed miserably to score even a few periods. The expectation from this player is critically high as the auction of players was processed in 14.25 crores second-highest valued player after Chriss Morris.

Rising talents

  • KS Bharat

The player has made it to the 15 players squad of the Indian cricket team multiple times but failed to get a chance in the real-time matches. This is an excellent opportunity for the player to shine in the tournament and form an excellent reputation in front of the Indian cricket team’s selectors. Under the supervision of a great captain like Virat, who hardly lost any matches in recent times, KS Bharat will be a great deal. Moreover, Virat Kohli captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore team 2021 will be able to inspect the player’s skillset more efficiently.

  • Harshal Patel

After performing a cameo in the Delhi Capitals, Harshal Patel made it to the Banglore team’s Royal Challengers. The player has the same skill as Hardik Pandya. The player can medium-pace bowling with a good line and length. The only thing Harshal Patel lack is exposure to the international players. The plenty of all-rounders of different teams are not fit at this particular moment, and it can be great for this player to fix a spotlight on himself and rock the tournament.

In a nutshell, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have made a ton of changes in the squad by releasing most non-performing players like Shivam Dubey, Chris Morris, Aaron Finch, and many others. If the new additions and the whole team live up to their expectations and potential, Royal Challengers Bangalore can do wonders in the 2021 IPL session.
