RCB Predicted XI vs CSK: Bangalore’s batting remains a major worry.

After losing their last three matches in the ongoing 2022 Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face an uphill task when they face a rejuvenated Chennai Super Kings at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. With 10 points from as many games, they are currently in fifth place. Chennai, on the other hand, thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 13 runs at the same venue in a match that saw MS Dhoni reclaim his captaincy.

RCB has struggled this season due to poor batting. They went all-out for the season’s lowest score of 68 and also failed to meet a modest target of 145 in another game. In their previous game, former RCB captain Virat Kohli’s cautious approach led to a below-par 170 on a batting track. While their middle order is still strong, RCB’s top order, led by captain Faf du Plessis, continues to be a source of concern.

The RCB XI for the crucial match against CSK is as follows…

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are the openers.

Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, and Shahbaz Ahmed are the top and middle-order batsmen.

Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror are two big hitters.

Shahbaz, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maxwell, and Lomror are some of the spin options.

Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazelwood, and Harshal Patel are Pacers players.

RCB are unlikely to make any changes to their line-up despite a poor batting performance against Gujarat Titans in the previous game.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
