Royal Challengers Bangalore have been perpetual underperformers in the Indian Premier League. Regardless of bragging some of the greatest names in cricket, RCB has been not able to stamp their clout in the IPL. They are one of only a handful hardly any groups yet to win the IPL title and that has offered risen discussion about their team selection. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have driven the line for them with help originating from different players.

This season, RCB will again be hoping to snatch their first IPL title. A heavy purchase of some large players of the game like Aaron Finch and Chris Morris to their crew to give them better strength.

They likewise have another care staff with previous New Zealand coach and mentor Mike Hesson and veteran Australian cricket Simon Katich joining the strategy building game. Sunil Gavaskar discussed RCB's battle and he likewise feels that a group like RCB not winning a title appears to be a riddle that he isn’t able to solve.

“Why a team like Royal Challengers Bangalore hasn’t won the title as yet is a puzzle. Any team that has Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers should never be short of runs and maybe that’s also a problem, for when these two failed, as humans sometimes do, then the others haven’t put their hands up. They have a new coach and will be hoping that this will be their year,” Gavaskar told a news media organization.

Gavaskar really indulged his mind in the interview and he even spoke about that one player who he thinks can be a match-winner for RCB because of slower pitches in UAE.

He said, “On pitches that will get slower, it may be a good idea to have both the champion batsmen open the batting while the ball is hard and new and will come on to the bat nicely than when the spinners are operating. Leggie Yuzvendra Chahal could be a match-winner for RCB on those pitches,”

RCB will play its first IPL 2020 game against the team Sunrisers Hyderabad on 21st September at the Dubai International Stadium.
