IPL 2023: Aakash Chopra Believes RCB Can Win their Maiden IPL Title in 2023

IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the few teams who have never lifted the IPL Trophy. Despite being one of the famous IPL team franchises, the team could not manage to win an IPL Trophy. Recently on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra assessed the RCB Squad and analyzed if this could be RCB’s year in the Indian Premier League. 

Aakash Chopra took his YouTube channel and said Bowlers win you the tournaments. He believes RCB has a strong bowling line-up, and the bowlers can lead the team towards lifting their maiden IPL Title this year. 

Aakash Chopra posted the video after Royal Challengers Bangalore sealed a victory against Rajasthan Royals on 23rd April 2023. Virat Kohli failed to score a single run, and RCB’s batting order collapsed soon after Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell lost their precious wickets. It was the bowlers who stole the show and led the team towards the win. 

IPL 2023: Aakash Chopra on RCB’s Bowlers 

RCB has always been famous for its destructive batting line-up with a strong combination of Indian and overseas batsmen. Despite the presence of three fabulous batsmen Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell, Aakash Chopra believes the bowlers will lead RCB towards the tournament win. 

“Bowling is this time Bangalore’s strength. Could it be their year? Can it happen? When you see the batting, you feel it cannot happen, but if you see the bowling, you feel it can happen. They say batters win your matches bowlers win your tournaments. This team’s bowling is doing the job,” Aakash Chopra, on his YouTube Channel. 

RCB’s Green Jersey Charm 

In the video, Aakash Chopra, also highlighted RCB’s Lucky charm, the green jersey. RCB has won only four matches (including the 32nd Match of IPL 2023) in Green Jersey out of twelve. They have made it to the playoffs each time they secured a win in the three matches. 

“Bangalore’s story is about the green jersey. They won three games while wearing the green jersey before this and all three times they qualified for the playoffs. They won this time as well, it was their fourth win in the green jersey.” 

RCB has already played half of the tournament in the IPL. They have played seven matches and have won four of them. Josh Hazelwood is yet to join the team squad. RCB will play their next match against KKR on 26th April 2023 in Bengaluru.
