Strengths & Weakness of RCB vs KKR
|
Royal Challengers Bangalore |
|
|
Strength |
Weakness |
|
Virat Kohli has been one of the leading pillars for RCB for almost a decade. His presence on the field gives the entire side a big boost. During the last few seasons, Kohli’s batting suffered because of the captaincy duties – Now he is free from those responsibilities and will look to fire up his game for this edition. |
AB de Villiers was one of the important players of the RCB’s camp over the years and his absence in this edition might hurt them very badly. |
|
Adding Faf du Plessis in the top order will make a huge difference. Having an experienced player at the top will boost RCB, and everyone knows how important an opening batsman is in a T20 game. Plessis has single-handedly won many games for CSK, and he will also look to continue the same form in this edition. |
Lack of consistency in the batting unit can affect them in Tata IPL 2024. |
|
Dinesh Karthik’s inclusion will significantly impact them as the tournament progresses. Everyone knows how RCB was struggling in the middle over the years, and with his inclusion, the franchise is looking to fill in the gap. |
RCB was involved in fierce bidding wars for overseas fast-bowling all-rounders Sam Curran, Cameron Green but couldn’t sign even one of them. The team lacks proven Indian fast bowlers who can win matches with the bat. |
|
RCB highest total is 134/9 against Mumbai Indians |
RCB lowest total is 49 against Kolkata Knight Riders |

Strength |
Weakness |
|
Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine are perfect spin-duo for KKR. The spin department is an advantage for KKR, and no other team has such a strong pair in this edition. They will capitalize on the main strength in all the league games. One more added advantage is that Narine is a dangerous batsman and will look to score some crucial runs for the side. |
Dinesh Karthik was the second most successful captain for KKR. However, now he will play in the opposition for RCB. Lack of a good wicket-keeper can hurt the team’s performance. |
|
Shreyas Iyer is in terrific form and will bring the performance to this edition. Apart from skipper duties, he will definitely eye to contribute more as a batsman. |
Other than Pat Cummins, KKR doesn’t have many bowling options in the powerplay overs. They need someone who can restrict the opponent batters with their strict line and lengths. In this segment, they are lacking very much. |
|
The new addition of the foreign player, Alex Hales, can be a trump card for KKR. |
The top order batting line of KKR remains a concern. Shreyas Iyer is likely to miss the entire IPL due to back injury also leaves KKR without a good batter. |
|
KKR highest team total is 137/9 against Delhi Capitals |
KKR Lowest team total is 84/8 against Royal Challengers Bangalore |
