Can Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Win the Title this Year ?

Indian Premier League (IPL)!! One of the most exciting franchise-based cricket tournaments in the world. The tournament is held in India every year with all the famous players of the world. One of the star-studded teams in the IPL is Royal Challengers Bangalore. Although they form teams every year with famous and expensive players, they have never tasted of winning a trophy. They are trophyless in 14 seasons. The title didn't win the title even after reaching the final and play-off. RCB can't win the trophy in 2016 final against Hyderabad by a bad finishing at the end.

Proteas batsman Faf du Plessis will be their captain for this season. Virat left the RCB captaincy before the 2021 T20 World Cup. They will not get another iconic cricketer AB de Villiers this year either. He has already announced his retirement. The RCB franchise is desperate to win the trophy under the new captain in the new season. But will Faf Du Plessis be able to bring the title to Royal Challengers Bangalore? They stumbled against DC (Delli Capitals) in their first match of the season. Couldn't win after scoring 200+ runs. What are their chances in the upcoming matches? Let's take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of the RCB team.

1. Strength: Experienced batting lineup and presence of experienced Indian bowlers is the biggest strength of the RCB team. The presence of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik in the batting line-up is their biggest strength. These cricketers can change the color of the match within a few overs. The presence of Indian bowlers Hershel Patel, Siddharth Kal, and Muhammad Siraj in the bowling unit will undoubtedly put the team in a good position. RCB will rely on them to make some good overs in the power play.

2. Weaknesses: The absence of experienced Indian batsmen in the number three position and middle order is their biggest weakness. It will be difficult for RCB to fill the position of AB de Villiers. The spin department could emerge as a place of over-reliance their weakness on Hasaranga and Korn Sharma.

3. Opportunity: For young batsmen like Anuj Rawat, this tournament can be a platform to do something good. This young batsman has been on the RCB team for the last 2 years. Team management relies on this batter. This is a great opportunity for left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed to do something good. In the middle order, batsmen like Mahipal Lomarre also have a chance to do well.
