In spite of having many T20 stars in the team, RCB haven’t been able to lift the trophy even once in the last 12 seasons, and they’ll be eyeing to break the jinx this time around. The addition of Aaron Finch has added more firepower to the already strong batting line-up. At the same time, Chris Morris and Dale Steyn have strengthened the fast-bowling department.
Also, RCB has several quality spinners in the form of Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Adam Zampa who’ll play a massive role in the slow and dead pitches of UAE. Well, the side certainly looks well balanced at the moment. However, they have to come good as a unit to get the glory. RCB will kick start their campaign against KL Rahul’s Kings XI Punjab on September 19 at the Dubai International Stadium.
