Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview
The expectations were sky-high from Royal Challengers Bengaluru this season after the women’s team got the franchise their first-ever trophy. Those celebrations unfortunately weren’t continued in the IPL, as the side have been in pretty poor form, especially with the ball.
At the half-way stage of this season, RCB find themselves with just one win and six defeats. To turn things around would mean a massive finish to the season, which they are capable of, but the way the season has panned out, it looks unlikely.

Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer in the tournament this edition and holds the Orange Cap. With a heavy requirement in the last match, the veteran batter stepped in with a blazing knock but got out immediately after the powerplay.
Although the team has not been at their best this season, Kohli’s run-scoring form will be a major positive for the team in red-and-blue.
