1. Read the pitch conditions at the right time
The DY Patil Stadium is one of the grounds which has a bowler’s friendly pitch and RCB has done the right thing by reading the pitch conditions at the very start of the match. RCB captain Faf Du Plesis done the right bowling changes at the right time which surely help the RCB bowlers to restrict KKR to a low score of 128.
2. RCB bowlers back in form
As RCB lose the previous match even after scoring 200 plus, the bowler’s morale had been down. Despite that, Banglore bowlers showcase their best as Hasarnga, Harshal Patel and Akashdeep das backed up and made it difficult for KKR to score a big total. This was Hasarang’s second match in IPL and as a showcase of his talent he picked up four main wickets of RCB whereas Harshal Patel and Md Siraj’s performances also claimed that RCB bowling is back in form.
WHAT A MATCH !

3. Strong middle order
In the previous season, RCB’s batting lineup was mostly dependent on the top order but the scenario was changed in this 2022 IPL season where top orders like Faf and Kohli failed to score runs but Sherfane Rutherford, Shabaz Ahmed, and Dinesh Kartik saves the day for RCB. This middle-order seems to be more stable and it will be interesting to see this middle order at work at further matches.
4. A perfect team combination
RCB is always known for its bad team management and doubtful combination but this match will provide them a good knowledge that this playing XI will be a good combination for them in this 2022 season. This paying XI has the perfect of young and experienced players which surely helps the Banglore franchise to fight in this long race.
Playing XI of RCB in this match against KKR: Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, David Willey, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj.
5. Stick with the plan
RCB management has made the right plans and the team also stick with the plan which made the RCB stand on the winning side. The perfect execution of the plain against the players of RCB made the winning more easier and comfortable.
Despite the match, the fans are hoping to win the title at least this season and it will be interesting to see the journey of RCB this season.
