4. UAE conditions will suit Yuzvendra Chahal

RCB’s bowler Yuzvendra Chahal looked a bit off-color in the first half of Indian Premier League 2021. The leg spinner managed to pick up just 4 wickets in 7 sevens and conceded runs at an economy rate of 8.26. In total the RCB spinners have picked just 11 wickets out of the 45 taken by their bowling attack. Only Left-armer Shahbaz Khan has put up a decent show with an economy rate of just 6.40 in 5 matches.

Last year, Yuzvendra Chahal was in the list of top 5 wicket-takers. He picked up 21 wickets in 15 games at an average of 19.28 and an economy rate of 7.08, the most by a spinner that season.

The conditions in UAE are known to be sluggish, favoring the spinners. With Chahal’s brilliant performance in the previous IPL held in UAE, the Royal Challengers Bangalore will back its match-winner to come good.
