Similar to Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore also possess a powerful team with Virat Kohli and Faf-du Plessis being consistent during the season. Though the team comes with a good batting department, the bowling department of the team has been a matter of concern throughout the season, with the bowlers, leaking runs in the death overs and failing heavily when it comes to defending the runs.
