IPL 2024 / Pressure on RCB to win IPL after WPL win, will the team's strong playing XI be like this?

IPL 2024: Vijay Mallya had said that it will be more fun when we win the IPL title also. It is clear that after becoming WPL champion this year, the pressure on RCB to win IPL has increased. And why not increase it? 16 seasons of waiting is not less. In WPL, RCB got the trophy only in the second season. Due to the high enthusiasm created by it, now Royal Challengers Bangalore would like to end the wait of 17 years by winning the IPL ground this year.

The wait to win IPL has to end. This thinking of RCB is definitely good. But, to end the wait for victory in cricket, to win the trophy and wear the robe of champion, it is necessary to enter the field with a better team combination. There is no doubt that after winning the WPL, the pressure on the RCB franchise to win the IPL has increased. But, without getting scattered under this pressure, he will have to focus on choosing that team, that playing eleven, which can come on the field and create colors.

The batsman with the highest strike rate has no chance in the team!

When RCB starts brainstorming about making its most powerful team i.e. the perfect playing eleven for IPL 2024, it may have to take tough decisions like dropping its player with the best strike rate. This will happen because according to the rule book of IPL, only 4 players can be foreigners in the playing eleven of each team. And, on this scale, despite a better strike rate, the player whose name is Will Jacques does not get a place.

Will Jacques is an opener and if we look at his strike rate in the opening from 2022 till now, he will be seen standing far ahead of RCB's regular opener Virat Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis. Will Jacques' strike rate is 163.2. Whereas Virat Kohli's strike rate in the opening has been 126.1 while Faf du Plessis's has been 139.9. But despite the high strike rate, Will Jacques cannot play because Faf du Plessis is already the foreign player in the opening, who is also the captain. Apart from this, he also has more experience than Will Jacques. His tuning is also set in the opening with Virat.

The most expensive player will strengthen the middle order with Maxwell

RCB will have Virat and Du Plessis in the top order and players like Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green will also be there to strengthen the team in the middle order. Green is the most expensive player of RCB, who is an all-rounder. RCB cannot even think of dropping this player worth Rs 17 crore, otherwise Will Jacques could have played in the middle order as well. Secondly, Maxwell is a big match winner in his own right with both ball and bat.

Will the bowling attack be like this?

As far as RCB's bowling is concerned, the leader of the pace attack will be Mohammad Siraj. Apart from them, Akash Deep and Yash Dayal will be the main fast bowlers of this team. Reece Topley can be included in the team as a foreign bowler. Karn Sharma can be seen handling the responsibility of spin for RCB.
