Rating the teams based on finishers in IPL 2020

6. Royal Challengers Bangalore (7/10)

A franchise has been known to flaunt one of the most star-studded line ups every year, but not getting through to the pole position at the end of the tournament. Such has been the story of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. They’ve had the best of talents every year but, their show on the field hasn’t been convincing at all. But, this year, they have some positives, and negatives that they need to sort before going in to fight the battle.

The first and the foremost concern that they’ll have to address is that of player management in the lower middle order. With the Aussie opener, Aaron Finch, coming in the captain of the team, Virat Kohli will have to take a call regarding his position as the opener. And, this would then affect the batting position of players like AB de Villiers, who have been batting at particular designated positions over the years for the team.

The second one will be finalising the set of players, who will act as the designated pinch hitter for the side, helping them gather a handful of runs in the far end of the innings. If they are able to address the above listed and a couple of other problems, effectively. The team does have a shot at realising their team slogan of ‘E Sala Cup Namde’.
