Royal Challengers Bangalore has given the most consistent performers in the history of IPL, but they still need to get the privilege to lift the title. They have superstars in their XI but have yet to win the IPL since 2008, and this time, they will try to end the drought of the IPL trophy and are excited to start with the new edition.
They didn’t have much remaining purses in the auction; still, they picked English star batter Will Jacks at 3.20 Cr, who performed well in recent times, but we might have to wait to see him in matches. However, they bought Reece Topley at 1.90 Cr and some uncapped players who might see in the upcoming years.
Looking at the probable playing XI of RCB, this side is full of stars. In the opening, they have Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis; the names of these two players are enough for the nightmare in the dream of opponent bowlers. We will see Rajat Patidar at the one-down spot, who has consistently performed well in the domestic and previous IPL seasons. At no. 4, we will see Glenn Maxwell, the destroyer who is currently struggling with his form and health, but we will see him in IPL 2023 hitting the huge sixes for RCB.
At no. 5,6, and 7, they have Mahipal Lormor, Dinesh Karthik, and Shahbaz Ahmed, respectively, but the team management and skipper will decide their batting in the match as per the requirement.
Indian speedster Md. Siraj and Harshal Patel, Australian veteran pacer Josh Hazelwood will handle the pace bowling attack; however, we might see Wanindu Hasaranga as the only spinner in the squad, and he can bat also. It will be interesting to see whether RCB will lift the title of IPL 2023 or if their fans have to wait one more year as they have been waiting since 2008.
