Faf du Plessis, the skipper of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) would be eager to stamp his authority. We should not forget that Faf du Plessis has still not bid adieu to South African national cricket team and now the star studded batter is in the contention to play ICC T20 WC 2024 which is just door steps away from the conclusion of IPL 2024 edition.
RCB fans would be delighted as RCB-Women won the WPL 2024 edition which will give the Men’s team immense self confidence. The side though is a lot dependent on the trio of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis & Glenn Maxwell which is not a good thing as a couple of wickets upfront can put a lot of pressure on the rest of the batters.
It will be interesting to see how RCB will use the flamboyant all-rounder Cameron Green who is tipped to be the next big thing in world cricket. The problem with RCB over the past decade or so is that they don’t have home advantage as the surface at Bengaluru is quite a batting paradise and no total is safe to defend.

It’s unbelievable batting with Virat Kohli- Faf du Plessis
