IPL 2021: 3 Stars From Royal Challengers Bangalore Who Can Be Game Changers Against Rajasthan Royals

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is the only side with no losses so far in their first three games and they will now be up against Rajasthan Royals in their next fixture. Royal Challengers Bangalore have now won all their first three games in IPL history for the first time and they have a lot of positives coming up still.

The form of Maxwell has been the biggest plus for Royal Challengers Bangalore and he is playing his role to perfection so far. AB de Villiers has been in really good touch despite retiring from international cricket and Harshal Patel has been picking up regular wickets for the Royal Challengers Bangalore to top the bowling charts. Here are 3 stars from Royal Challengers Bangalore who can be game-changers.

3 Stars From Royal Challengers Bangalore Who Can Be Game Changers

Virat Kohli:

The Indian skipper Virat Kohli is yet to find his best form with the bat and despite that RCB has gone on to win three games. It is a really big positive for them that the others have contributed and it makes it even easier if Virat starts to contribute. He is a match-winner with the bat on any day.

RCB’s current form has meant that Virat Kohli could drop down to his original position of three and bring in an explosive overseas batsman at the opening position which makes it a much stronger batting side.

At the moment, they have a lot of all-rounders on the side and they bat very deep until 9. Kohli has scored 71 runs in three games so far and he needs to play those long innings for the others to strike it out of the ground.

Glenn Maxwell:

The million-dollar man Glenn Maxwell has been a revelation so far in the tournament for Royal Challengers Bangalore and he has been a key contributor in taking the team to three consecutive wins. He is second on the list of top run-scorers for the season with 176 runs in three games and could well end up being the first after this game.

Maxwell has been clinical in his shot-making so far and has been hitting a lot of reverse sweeps over the short third man area which has brought him a lot of boundaries. It disturbs the length and line of the bowlers and Maxwell has been getting the rewards out of it. He scored 78 off 49 balls in the previous game and provided the right platform for the likes of AB Devilliers to excel from the ball one.

Yuzvendra Chahal:

So far, the Indian bowlers have been very good for the RCB and the least impressive has been Yuzvendra Chahal, who has been leaking a lot of runs of late. There were a lot of talks about his position on the side before the game but he managed to erase all those in the previous game and looked to have found his rhythm going.

Chahal picked two wickets in the last over and gave away just 34 runs in his four overs in a high-scoring game against the KKR side. He is a far better bowler when the field restrictions are over, and when he starts to loop into the batsman to invite him for the big shots.

Chahal’s form will now be a great positive for the RCB franchise moving forward into the midway of the tournament and Chahal can turn around a game with the ball in a quick time.
