5 reasons why RCB can win IPL 2021 when it resumes

The one question that has been on the lips of several Royal Challengers Bangalore (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

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 Mumbai Indians (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.
