Strengths & Weakness of RCB vs MI
Royal Challengers Bangalore |
|
|---|---|
Strength |
Weakness |
Virat Kohli has been one of the leading pillars for RCB for almost a decade. His presence on the field gives the entire side a big boost. During the last few seasons, Kohli’s batting suffered because of the captaincy duties – Now he is free from those responsibilities and will look to fire up his game for this edition. |
AB de Villiers was one of the important players of the RCB’s camp over the years and his absence in this edition might hurt them very badly. |
Adding Faf du Plessis in the top order will make a huge difference. Having an experienced player at the top will boost RCB, and everyone knows how important an opening batsman is in a T20 game. Plessis has single-handedly won many games for CSK, and he will also look to continue the same form in this edition. |
Lack of consistency in the batting unit can affect them in Tata IPL 2023. |
Dinesh Karthik’s inclusion will significantly impact them as the tournament progresses. Everyone knows how RCB was struggling in the middle over the years, and with his inclusion, the franchise is looking to fill in the gap. |
RCB was involved in fierce bidding wars for overseas fast-bowling all-rounders Sam Curran, Cameron Green and Ben Stokes but couldn’t sign even one of them. The team lacks proven Indian fast bowlers who can win matches with the bat. |
RCB highest total is 134/9 against Mumbai Indians |
RCB lowest total is 49 against Kolkata Knight Riders |
Mumbai Indians |
|
|---|---|
Strength |
Weakness |
There is no shortage of stars in the Mumbai Indians camp. Be it an Indian or overseas bunch, the list of superstars in MI is endless. They continued the legacy of signing new sensations in world cricket. MI bought Cameroon Green for a record INR 17.50 crores in IPL 2023 mini auctions. Jofra Archer, Tim David, and Dewald Brevis are superstars in their own right. If one of them gets going, Mumbai won’t need much from the rest to win. |
MI need to come up with consistent team performances if they are to come back to winning ways. Mumbai Indian's batters have generally provided the runs, but the bowlers have let the team down. On days when the bowlers have stepped up, the batters have failed to rise to the occasion. |
Rohit Sharma is the only captain to win IPL titles. He is the only player to win six IPL championships. Sharma is someone who knows the art of winning. |
MI had struggled for control in bowling in the last couple of seasons. MI doesn’t have the bowling resources to run through the opposition. |
One of the main strengths of Mumbai is its talent scouting. The supply line for Mumbai Indians is endless. They keep churning out talent season after season. Dewald Brevis is a superstar in the making. The signing of Tristan Stubbs was inspirational as he hadn’t proven himself in the international circuit then. Jofra Archer and Cameroon Green add a lot of muscle to the squad. |
Spin bowling has been one of the most significant weaknesses for MI ever since Harbhajan Singh left the squad. Rahul Chahar did a fair job for MI, but even he has left. MI’s spin bowling options have failed to leave any impact in the last two seasons. They have either lacked control or been mainly defensive. MI couldn’t add much to the plate in the 2023 mini auctions either. |
MI highest team total is 1313/5 against Rajasthan Royals |
MI Lowest team total is 94/8 against Rajasthan Royals |
