The Indian T20 League is the most popular domestic T20 league in the world, and Bangalore is one of the teams that have consistently performed well in the tournament. The Bangalore-based team, Bangalore, has always had a strong squad, but in ITL 2023, they seem to have an edge over other teams. Here are three reasons why Bangalore will win the ITL 2023.
Firstly, the team has an in-form Virat Kohli. Kohli, one of the best batters in the world, has been leading the Bangalore-based team’s batting line up since 2013. Kohli has always been a consistent performer in the ITL, but his form was not up to the mark in the last few seasons.
However, in the recently concluded T20 World Cup, Kohli found his form and played some match-winning innings. This will undoubtedly boost his confidence, and he will look to carry his form into the ITL. With Kohli in form, the opposition teams will have a tough time planning their strategy against the Bangalore-based team.
Secondly, Bangalore has an incredibly deep batting line-up. The team has some of the best T20 batters in the world, and the addition of Michael Bracewell, a hard-hitting New Zealand batter, will further strengthen their batting. The team has a mix of aggressive and anchor batters in their squad.
Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik are aggressive batsmen who can take the game away from the opposition, while Virat Kohli and Wanindu Hasaranga can anchor the innings if required. This mix of aggressive and anchor batsmen makes Bangalore’s batting line-up one of the best in the ITL.
3. Well-rounded bowling line-up
Finally, Bangalore has a potent bowling line-up. The team has some of the best T20 bowlers in their squad, and they have a perfect balance of spin and pace bowlers. Wanindu Hasaranga, the Sri Lankan leg-spinner, has been in outstanding form recently and can be a game-changer with his bowling.
Harshal Patel was the leading wicket-taker in ITL 2021, and Reece Topley, the England left-arm pacer, can be a surprise package in the ITL. Akash Deep and Karn Sharma are experienced Indian bowlers who can play a crucial role in the team’s success. A fit Mohammed Siraj adds an edge to Bangalore’s bowling as well.
