With another IPL season around the corner the old question is back in discussion, can Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lift their first IPL title? They have been a consistent side in the league with multiple playoff qualifications in the last few seasons but the trophy is still eluding. However, Faf du Plessis can pull off the miracle for the franchise this time around. Let’s take a look at 3 reasons why.
An in-form bowling attack
Royal Challengers Bangalore are going into the next season with an in-form bowling attack and that will really boost their chances. Bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep are coming straight from the Indian team. The duo had a great series and this wicket-taking form will help them get the momentum early in the season. Bowling has been the Achilles heel for RCB but this season there can be a different story and Faf du Plessis must be delighted about this.
Individual form
Faf du Plessis has been one of the most successful batters for RCB in recent times. He is still in form and coming to the IPL on the back of a successful SA20 season. He had a poor start to the season but in the later phase he regained his batting form with multiple fifty-plus scores and this is an encouraging sign for RCB fans. He is crucial for the franchise not just as a captain but as a batter as well. It becomes easier to lead the side when your individual performance is commendable.
Less dependence on big names
The management along with Faf du Plessis has worked on reducing the dependence on big names. Overdependence on big names has plagued the franchise for the last few seasons. With the inclusion of the likes of Cameron Green, the captain has tried to address this issue. If the batting unit fires collectively then RCB will become an unstoppable force, such is the potential of this team. This vital change introduced by the skipper can change the destiny of the franchise.
