The Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a perennial performance in the Indian Premier League. Despite having some of the biggest names in cricket, RCB has not been able to stamp its authority on the IPL. They are one of the few teams that has yet to win the IPL title and that has led to debates over their team selection. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have led the line with the support of other players.
This season, RCB will once again seek its first IPL title. They have hired some great players like Aaron Finch and Chris Morris to their team to give them better stability.
They also have a new support staff with former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson and former Australian cricket Simon Katich joining the think tank. Sunil Gavaskar spoke about RCB’s fight and also feels that a team like RCB not winning a title seems like a puzzle.

Why a team like Royal Challengers Bangalore hasn’t won the title yet is a puzzle. Any team that has Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers should never be short of runs and maybe that’s a problem too, because when these two failed, as humans sometimes do, the others haven’t raised their hands. They have a new coach and they hope this is their year, ”Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar.
Gavaskar also picked a player who could be a match winner for RCB on slower pitches in the UAE.

“On pitches that are going to get slower, it might be a good idea for the two champion hitters to open the bat while the ball is hard and new and will hit the bat more nicely than when the spinners are operating. Leggie Yuzvendra Chahal could be a match winner for RCB in those fields, ”he added.
RCB will play its first IPL 2020 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on September 21 at the Dubai International Stadium.
