Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have been one of the well-known franchises in IPL history due to the brand of cricket they play and the loyalty the fans have towards the franchise. However, what has eluded them in the 14 years of the Indian Premier League (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a>) is that they haven&#8217;t won a single trophy. Despite boasting some of the best T20 cricketers in their squad over the years, the closest they have come to winning the title was in 2016 when they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the summit clash.

However, RCB would like to turn the history upside down as they chase the coveted title in IPL 2022. They have done a good job at the IPL 2022 mega auction, acquiring some good overseas cricketers along with quality Indian talents. The Bangalore franchise has made a good start to the season and will hope they end the trophy drought this season.

5 reasons why RCB can lift their maiden IPL title in IPL 2022

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-618863" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Faf-du-Plessis-2.jpg" alt="Faf du Plessis" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-618863" class="wp-caption-text">Faf du Plessis. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The Royal Challengers Bangalore management appointed Faf Du Plessis as their new captain ahead of the 15th edition of the cash-rich league. The position was vacant after Virat Kohli relinquished his duties after IPL 2021. The former South Africa skipper has led his country to multiple wins and has also been regarded as one of the best captains in Proteas history. He has captained his country in 37 T20Is, winning 23 of those.

Besides, Du Plessis has seen <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-had-nothing-to-do-with-this-decision-robin-uthappa-reveals-what-ms-dhoni-told-him-after-mega-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> function from close quarters during his stint with the Chennai Super Kings. He has certainly picked a thing or two from the former Indian captain, which will come in handy this season. With significant experience under his belt, Faf du Plessis is expected to bring new ideas to the table.

The 37-year-old cricketer has looked proactive with his strategies so far, leading RCB to three wins in four games.

2. Quality bowling attack

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-625678" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Harshal-Patel.jpg" alt="Harshal Patel" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-625678" class="wp-caption-text">Harshal Patel. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

RCB has a better bowling attack in IPL 2022 when compared to the last couple of seasons. Along with Harshal Patel and Mohammed Siraj, young Akash Deep has stepped up to the task. He has repaid the trust shown by the management. The youngster from Bengal was spectacular against Mumbai Indians, returning with figures of 1/20 in his four overs.

They also have overseas pace options in David Willey and Josh Hazlewood. While Hazlewood is yet to join the squad, his addition will only make this bowling attack better. He was an integral part of Chennai Super Kings last season, picking up 11 wickets in nine matches.

Sri Lanka&#8217;s <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/my-favourite-footballer-is-neymar-rcbs-wanindu-hasaranga-opens-up-about-his-special-celebrations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wanindu Hasaranga </a>has been assigned the duty to lead the spin attack and he has passed with flying colours so far. He has already scalped eight wickets in four games at an average of 15. They also have the left-arm spin of Shahbaz Ahmed in their armoury.

Faf du Plessis and Co. also has the experience of Siddharth Kaul, Jason Behrendroff and Karn Sharma on the bench to come in as and when necessary.

3. The presence of a proper finisher

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-621253" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Dinesh-Karthik.jpg" alt="Dinesh Karthik" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-621253" class="wp-caption-text">Dinesh Karthik. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Over the years, RCB have relied on multiple players, who would finish the match in convincing style. However, they lacked a quality finisher, who can do it game after game. In Dinesh Karthik, they have found an able finisher, who comes in with abundant experience and has batted in these situations multiple times. His heroics against Bangladesh in the finals of the Nidahas Trophy back in 2018 is still fresh.

The 36-year-old Karthik has already justified his selection with a couple of short cameos, coming in mostly at No.6 and 7. The veteran Tamil Nadu cricketer has scored 97 runs at a strike rate of 210.86 in four games so far and is yet to get out in IPL 2022. His 23-ball 44 against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-match-20-predicted-rajasthan-royals-playing-xi-vs-lucknow-super-giants/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rajasthan Royals</a> guided RCB to a scintillating victory from a steep position. Karthik took calculated risks and targetted his bowlers to chase down 170 runs with five balls to spare.

If he can maintain consistency throughout IPL 2022, it will be a massive boost for the Royal Challengers as they chase their maiden title.

4. Good Indian talent with less dependency on overseas players

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-620409" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Shahbaz-Ahmed.jpg" alt="Shahbaz Ahmed" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-620409" class="wp-caption-text">Shahbaz Ahmed. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The Play-bold army will not depend too much on overseas players this time as they did in the previous years. RCB has quality Indian talents across all departments and this can very well be the key to their success in this year&#8217;s edition. Royal Challengers Bangalore have invested in young talents like Anuj Rawat, Shahbaz Ahmed and Akash Deep, a decision that has reaped rewards so far.

While Rawat showed his batting abilities in the last fixture against Mumbai Indians, all-rounder Shahbaz has played a couple of handly knocks in the lower order. Akash Deep has also been terrific with the ball so far and is getting better with each passing game.

Besides, they also have experienced Indian cricketers in Virat Kohli, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/surely-hes-in-the-mix-ravi-shastri-explains-why-dinesh-karthik-can-find-a-place-in-indias-t20-wc-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dinesh Karthik</a>, Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel. The 36-year-old Karthik has been a star addition to the line-up and has already made his presence felt with a couple of breathtaking knocks. Last year&#8217;s Purple Cap holder, Harshal has also resumed responsibilities in the middle and death overs and has done a spectacular job so far. Mohammed Siraj has also shown good intent with the ball, although, he has been a bit wayward in the death overs.

With no additional responsibilities, Kohli has also looked in rhythm and it seems like he has come past the dismal form. He has played a couple of 40+ innings and will hope to convert them into big scores in the upcoming games.

5. Top-order contributing with the bat

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-625684" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli2.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-625684" class="wp-caption-text">Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

RCB over the years have always depended heavily on their batters and this time too it doesn&#8217;t change. If  <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-please-educate-umpires-twitter-infuriated-after-virat-kohli-is-adjudged-lbw-controversially-vs-mi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> and Faf du Plessis can milk runs consistently throughout the season at the top order, then it can surely change the complexion of the tournament.

Both have had decent starts to the competition and will hope to carry on the momentum in the forthcoming games. The RCB skipper has already mustered 138 runs in four outings while Kohli has amassed 106 runs at a strike rate of 135.89.

If Royal Challengers Bangalore can tick the boxes in most of their games, they will have a fair chance of winning their first-ever IPL title.

IPL 2022: 5 reasons why RCB can lift their maiden IPL title this year
