BENGALURU: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), perennial slow starters and a side that has too often flattered only to fizzle when it matters, have been a revelation in this Indian Premier League (IPL) so far. As beginnings go, theirs has been pristinely new.
Under new captain Rajat Patidar, they have begun impeccably, notching up big wins against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. They now have a more balanced side with a competent bowling attack — a bugbear in previous years — complementing a confident batting unit.
