On April 17, RCB lost their game to CSK by just 8 runs after giving them a tough fight. However, the former Indian cricketer has analysed the performances of RCB players, which will help those cricketers improve their game. Zaheer Khan is a former Indian cricketer and a respected cricket analyst. He has often shared his views on the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) batting in the IPL.
Zaheer has often pointed out that RCB’s batting lineup is heavily dependent on Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. While both Kohli and de Villiers are exceptional batsmen, the team needs other batsmen to step up and contribute if they want to consistently win matches.
He has also highlighted the inconsistency of the RCB’s middle-order batting. While players like Glenn Maxwell and Devdutt Padikkal have shown promise, they need to perform consistently if RCB wants to post big scores and win matches.
Zaheer has also pointed out that RCB’s batting lineup has struggled against spin bowling in the past. The team needs to work on their technique against spinners and come up with a strategy to counter them if they want to succeed in the IPL.
Zaheer has suggested that RCB needs a strong finisher in their batting lineup. A player who can come in towards the end of the inning and score quick runs can be crucial in helping the RCB post big scores and win matches. Hence, the teams might improvise these things in their next game. RCB will perform in the next match against the Punjab Kings on April 20.
