The Royal Challengers Bangalore had a dismal run in the 2017 edition of the IPL. As had been the case over the years, it was their faltering bowling lineup that cost them dearly in the season. What went worse was the fact that their star studded lineup failed to cover up for the bowling woes, and hence, the poor show. Coming to the 2018 edition of the tournament, the RCB camp looks a lot more equipped than the previous editions.
They are set to be led by Virat Kohli yet again. Also, the prospect of seeing Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Brendon McCullum bat in the Royal Challengers Bangalore top order is a treat many fans are eagerly waiting for. Also, the RCB think tank have done a reasonably good work by roping in quality fast bowlers this season.
They have also got their boxes ticked in the all-rounder slot by buying the services of New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme. Among the bowlers, they have Nathan Coulter-Nile and Umesh Yadav raring to go at the oppositions.
Talking about the fixtures, the RCB team will open their season against the Kolkata Knight Riders in an away game at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata on April 8. Four days later, they will host the Kings XI Punjab at their fortress in Bengaluru on April 13. The M Chinnaswamy Stadium will play the home ground for the RCB team. A couple of days later, on April 15, they will host the Rajasthan Royals in a Royal derby.
They will then play the Mumbai Indians in an away game. The last match of the league stages for the RCB camp will also be a Royal derby, albeit this time it will be an away game for them. The RCB team will play 3 day matches during the course of the tournament. It is worth noting that two of those three day games for the RCB team will be against the same opposition of the Rajasthan Royals.
