ROYAL CHALLENGERS
LOST TO KKR IN 2021 ELIMINATOR
A few things about Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Their fans are the most loyal despite the franchise, like some Indian politicians, being performance-proof.
They are their own biggest rivals, thanks to questionable calls made at the auction table and frequent chopping and changing. And, they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
They have been bridesmaids thrice (2009, 2011 and 2016). Some seasons (2017, 2018, and 2019), their performances have been so poor that even an odd win seemed as momentous as winning the title.
It’s 2022 and their fans once again are chanting, “E saala, cup namde (translated from Kannada as ‘this year, the cup is ours’).” It’s a new-look side. For starters, Virat Kohli is no more captain. Can that free the talisman up to play impactful knocks without worrying about other stuff? A 550 or 600run season at a strike rate of 135, batting at the top, or No.3? RCB will take that.
