Like other teams, RCB will also take the field without some of its key players. Jacob Bethel and Lungi Ngidi will no longer be able to join RCB. Both the players will not return to India now due to national duty.
RCB’s team is one of the strong contenders to win the trophy this time. The team has performed brilliantly in the league stage so far. Royal Challengers Bengaluru has won 8 out of 11 matches and remains in second place in the points table with 16 points. In this way, Rajat Patidar’s team has almost confirmed its place in the playoffs. Now it will be interesting to see whether RCB is able to continue this strong performance in the playoffs or not.
