The one question that has been on the lips of several <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rcb-royal-challengers-bangalore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a> (RCB) fans is, when will the RCB side win the IPL title? Right from the inception of the IPL, the Bangalore outfit has not managed to get hold of the IPL trophy even once.

In the 2020 edition of the IPL, the RCB side qualified for the Playoffs stage but was knocked out of the tournament in the Eliminator against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) outfit. The ‘Orange Army’ beat the Bangalore side with 6 wickets to spare last year.

And, the RCB side has already shown a lot of promise in the 2021 edition of the IPL. The Virat Kohli-led side had won 5 out of the 7 matches that they had played in the tournament and looked in ominous form. But then, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the BCCI decided to put a halt to the IPL.

There have been talks that the IPL might once again resume in the month of September. With that being said, let us take a look at 5 reasons why the RCB side can win the 2021 edition of the IPL when it resumes.

5. RCB have already shown the steely resolve in closely fought matches

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-508734" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Royal-Challengers-Bangalore-8.jpg" alt="Royal Challengers Bangalore" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-508734" class="wp-caption-text">Royal Challengers Bangalore.

One of the most important traits of a ‘champion’ side is the ability to hold their nerve in closely fought matches. And, the RCB side seems to have mastered this trait in the 2021 edition of the IPL.

In their very first match of the 2021 IPL season against the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/mi-mumbai-indians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mumbai Indians</a> (MI) side, the Bangalore side beat the Rohit Sharma led outfit off the last ball of the match with just 2 wickets to spare. In their next match on 14th April 2021, the Bangalore outfit choked the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batsmen with the ball and won the match by just 6 runs.

Even in their encounter against the Delhi Capitals on 27th April 2021 (DC), RCB emerged triumphant by a slender margin of just 1 run. The Virat Kohli-led side has managed to keep its cool when the situation has got tense, and this is a trait that a champion team possesses.

4. Excellent start to the first half of the tournament

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-510507" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Royal-Challengers-Bangalore-10.jpg" alt="Royal Challengers Bangalore" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-510507" class="wp-caption-text">Royal Challengers Bangalore. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

For any team to go the distance, the side should always have a good start. And, this is true, especially in a long tournament like the IPL. And, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side has managed to tick all the right boxes in the first half of the tournament.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rashmika-mandanna-supports-rcb-in-the-ipl-but-is-not-a-fan-of-virat-kohli/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> and his men have emerged triumphant in 5 out of the 7 matches that they have played, and are comfortably placed at the 3rd place in the points table. They have clicked as a unit, and both their batting as well as their bowling departments have fired in unison.

RCB will have to just carry on the good work that they did on the field in the first half of the tournament into the second half, and they definitely have a wonderful chance to win the 2021 edition of the IPL.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-505083" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Harshal-Patel.jpg" alt="Harshal Patel" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-505083" class="wp-caption-text">Harshal Patel. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

One issue that has perennially plagued the RCB side is their &#8216;weak&#8217; bowling attack. Many have pointed out that it is RCB’s bowling attack that has let the side down, year after year. But then, the Virat Kohli-led outfit seems to have ironed out this chink in their armor in the 2021 edition of the IPL.

In fact, RCB pacer Harshal Patel tops the Purple Cap charts in the 2021 IPL edition and has scalped a whopping 17 wickets in just 7 matches at an excellent average of 15.12. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2021-yuzvendra-chahal-teaches-hindi-to-kyle-jamieson-video-goes-viral/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyle Jamieson</a> too has been impressive with the ball and has picked up 9 wickets in the tournament thus far.

There is a sense of purpose with the way the RCB bowlers have operated this year. And, if they can continue to show the same spirit in the 2nd half of the tournament, then it might well turn out to be “Ee Saala Cup Namde’ for the RCB side in 2021.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-507161" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Glenn-Maxwell-2.jpg" alt="Glenn Maxwell" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-507161" class="wp-caption-text">Glenn Maxwell.

INR 14.25 Crores. That is the amount of money that the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side splashed in the 2021 IPL auctions to procure the services of Australian cricketer <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-ab-de-villiers-and-glenn-maxwell-urge-people-to-stay-safe-amidst-covid-19-crisis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glenn Maxwell</a>. And, Maxwell has made sure that he is worth every penny spent on him with his exploits with the willow in the 14th edition of the IPL.

The right-hander has scored 223 runs in the tournament and scored his runs at an average of 37.17 and a strike rate in excess of 140. Maxwell scored 2 fifties in the tournament, and on both occasions, the RCB side ended up on the winning side.

Needless to say, Maxwell has been the ‘impact player’ for the RCB side and has had a massive influence in the tremendous success that the RCB side has experienced in the 2021 edition of the IPL.

1. Arguably one of the best batting lineups in the tournament

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-507160" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/AB-de-Villiers-3.jpg" alt="AB de Villiers" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-507160" class="wp-caption-text">AB de Villiers. (Photo SOurce: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Just read this fact. Between them, Virat Kohli, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/people-may-forget-his-real-name-but-will-always-remember-mr-360-virender-sehwag-showers-praise-on-ab-de-villiers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AB de Villiers</a>, and Glenn Maxwell have scored 12860 runs, 88 fifties, and 8 centuries in the IPL. Also, throw in Devdutt Padikkal into the mix, and you arguably have the best top-order that any IPL side can have.

And, all these 4 men have been in good form for RCB in the 2021 edition of the IPL. Maxwell has led the way, scoring 223 runs at an average in excess of 35, while the legendary AB de Villiers has plundered 207 runs at an excellent average of 51.75 and a whopping strike rate of 164.28.

The iconic Virat Kohli has scored 198 runs in the tournament at a decent average of 33.00, while the talented Devdutt Padikkal has scored 195 runs at an average of 39.00 and a strike rate in excess of 150. And surely, it is the collective effort of RCB’s batsmen that has allowed Kohli and his men to experience a scintillating start to the tournament.

And, if the RCB top order can continue its good work when the IPL is restarted, then there is every possibility that Kohli will hold aloft the IPL title this year, and bring joy to the faces of the innumerable fans of the RCB side.

The one question that has been on the lips of several <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rcb-royal-challengers-bangalore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a> (RCB) fans is, when will the RCB side win the IPL title?

The iconic Virat Kohli has scored 198 runs in the tournament at a decent average of 33.00, while the talented Devdutt Padikkal has scored 195 runs at an average of 39.00 and a strike rate in excess of 150. And surely, it is the collective effort of RCB’s batsmen that has allowed Kohli and his men to experience a scintillating start to the tournament.
And, if the RCB top order can continue its good work when the IPL is restarted, then there is every possibility that Kohli will hold aloft the IPL title this year, and bring joy to the faces of the innumerable fans of the RCB side.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore side has already shown a lot of promise in the 2021 edition of the IPL.
