Team Analysis

ESPNcricinfo' wrote "Like Delhi Capitals, the team of Royal Challengers Bangalore could not find their favorite players on many occasions during the auction. This was the reason that he too had to move towards the second or third options. Captain Virat Kohli certainly has more bowling options this time, If the team lands with two foreign fast bowlers, then they will have to find an Indian option at the opening. If it is not, then the Indian player will be seen in fast bowling. Finding the right combination at the beginning of the tournament will be the key to RCB's win."[5]

Indian Premier League

On 21 September, the Royal Challengers Banglore started their season campaign defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 runs. Virat Kohli lost the toss & was put to bat. Devdutt Padikkal ( 56) built the 90-run partnership with Aaron Finch (29) for the first wicket. Banglore scored 163-run in 20 overs. Banglore were able to restrict the Sunrisers to 153.[6]
