In the 24th match of IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 8 runs. With this win, now the 4-time champion CSK has moved up to the third position in the points table with six points.
According to the former opener and now a celebrated commentator Aakash Chopra, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team has insufficient batting options and the team heavily relies on only a few players such as Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell.
While talking on his official youtube Channel, Aakash Chopra reviewed the game between RCB and CSK and said that the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s batting revolves around just three players.
Aakash Chopra said,”When it was RCB’s turn to bat, the expectation was that Virat Kohli would hit but Akash Singh dismissed him. Then Mahipal Lomror got out for zero despite getting a life and then you realize that this team does not have the might in batting – only three players have the might.”
Aakash Chopra pointed out that the Royal Challengers Bangalore team lacks a strong batsman after Glenn Maxwell.
“The batting lacks depth because you get Faf du Plessis at the top alongside Kohli – both are outstanding – and then Mahipal comes at No. 3 and Maxwell at No. 4, but after that Shahbaz Ahmed, Suyash Prabhudessai and Dinesh Karthik. There is not a lot of depth.”
Chopra also mentioned that RCB is missing the services of Rajat Patidar in the IPL 2023. The batter from Madhya Pradesh has been ruled out due to an Achilles heel injury.
