It is the end of the league stages of the Indian Premier League this season and we have finally got the top 4 teams who will be competing for the title. The team under discussion is the Royal Challengers Bengaluru(RCB). The men in red are still waiting for their maiden IPL title which has eluded them for 17 years. Being one of the top 4 teams this is their chance to finally fulfill their dreams.
RCB have had a complete roller coaster of a season where they were in complete disarray losing 6 games in a row in the first half and coming back in the second half with some great performances. The men in red are set to play the eliminator against the Rajasthan Royals(RR) and have nothing to lose. We will be discussing the 3 reasons why this team have a chance to finally win their first-ever title and give the fans what they have been waiting for.
So, here are the top 3 reasons why RCB might win their maiden IPL title this season:
3. Virat Kohli and middle-order giving great performances
The last time RCB went to the finals, it was Virat Kohli who was the main attraction as he carried the team to their third IPL final in 2016. With the king in superb form, there is a chance that they might make it to their 4th. Other than that this time they have a strong middle order with Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar having great seasons as well. This will be a great asset to the side going forward.
2. 6-game winning streak giving them confidence
There is another thing that we need to remember the men in red have had a 6-game winning streak going into the playoffs and will look to continue it going further. This is something that gives a lot of confidence to any side in the game. RCB will be going into the season with the same confidence they have had in the last six encounters. They will go into the playoffs with this achievement and look to continue it towards the end.
1. Fixed combination of players
The other reason why the RCB side is looking good for their first IPL trophy is that they finally have a fixed core which they want to go forward with. The batters and the bowlers in this tournament have been backed as well. The likes of Mohammad Siraj and Yash Dayal have been given a massive responsibility along with Karn Sharma who they still trust as their frontline spin bowler in their side. This shows that RCB are finally backing their players and this could lead to something bigger in the future.
