Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to win their first-ever title in IPL 2024. They start their journey in the opening match against Chennai Super Kings at M Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on 22nd March.
RCB could not qualify for the playoffs stage last year finishing 6th in the points table. They decided to bring in a few new players including Alazzari Jospeh, Lockie Ferguson, and others which would make sure that they win IPL 2024.
Here we look at the 3 reasons why Royal Challengers Bengaluru Can Win IPL 2024:
- Explosive Batting Order
Royal Challengers Bangalore have a strong batting order that can put pressure on the opponent bowlers. Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and Rajat Patidar will be a major threat to opponent bowlers who can score runs at a quick pace.
Cameron Green has been traded to Royal Challengers Bangalore from Mumbai Indians. He is a utility player with the bat and ball who can create pressure with his explosive style of play. Will Jacks is an explosive batter who can hit big shots and put enough pressure on opponent bowlers.
Dinesh Karthik would be eager to prove his worth as a match finisher. His performances during the 2023 edition were not great. Playing his final IPL season, Karthik will be eager to showcase his finishing power and help RCB win the title for the first time.
- Decent Bowling Attack
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bowling attack looks decent. Mohammed Siraj showed his class picking wickets in the first six overs not allowing the opponent batters to score runs easily.
Alazzari Joseph has been included for a whopping price and would be eager to prove his worth with discipline lines and lengths. Akash Deep, Reece Topley, and Lockie Ferguson are two other bowling options that can create doubt in the batter’s mind with their bowling. If these bowlers can do the job, Royal Challengers Bangalore can win the IPL 2024.
- Motivation To Win First Title
Royal Challengers Bangalore has not been able to win the IPL for the last 16 years. They have reached the finals of this prestigious event losing in 2009 to the Deccan Chargers.
RCB reached the finals of the 2011 IPL losing to Chennai Super Kings. Their last finals was during the 2016 edition as they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad. RCB reached the playoff stage in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Virat Kohli has been in the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise since the start and will be eager to win their first-ever title this season.
Despite having quality players like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, and others, they will be motivated to win the IPL this season.
