IPL 2022: 4 players Royal Challengers Bangalore might retain ahead of mega auction

AB de Villiers

When you have AB de Villers then there’s barely any ecstasy past him. The current era’s best white-ball batter has been the heartbeat of the franchise and overall is only second to the former skipper in terms of numbers. Perhaps since IPL 2011, De Villiers has been the lone stallion in the red army’s middle-order valiantly winning oodles of games time and again. In fact, after the cricketer’s controversial international retirement, only RCB seems to be his pleasant home for continuing to play cricket.

Overall as a decade-old RCB player, ABD has played a total of 156 games and has scored 4491 runs at an average of 40.64. The South African is also the sixth-highest run-scorer of the tournament and is only second to David Warner as an overseas top scorer. Also just like Virat Kohli, the 37-year old constantly can stack over 400 plus runs per season.

All in all, in the overseas retention slot, definitely ABD will be the first name to get penned for the IPL 2022. His retention also provides a potential captaincy option in case if the franchise fails to pick a strong leader in the mega auction.

Match Prediction for RCB vs DC

The 55th match of the Indian Premier League will be happening on October 8. The match will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai at 7:30 pm. Royal Challengers Bangalore will be playing against Delhi Capitals

Team and Player Preview

This match is a dead rubber because the outcome of the 55th match between RCB and DC doesn’t matter. Delhi Capitals have already qualified in the playoffs among the top 2. DC will be getting 2 chances to make it to the final. Whereas after losing the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, RCB has already lost the chance of qualifying the top 2 finalists. 

Both the teams would like to allow some players to take a rest before the playoffs. Many changes in forming Playing XI can be seen in both teams. 

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE

The poor batting performance by Royal Challengers Bangalore led them to taste defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was quite unpredictable, as SRH has performed poorly throughout the IPL 2021. 

RCB has struggled with batting skills this season, even after having many resources. The whole team is relying on Glen Maxwell and Devdutt Padiakkal for batting. We are expecting AB de Villers in the next match to be playing in the middle order and making runs for the team. Glenn Maxwell is a good player for top-order batting and Virat Kholi has a brilliant history against the Delhi Capitals.

Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel are the best bowlers in the Royal Challengers Bangalore today. 

DELHI CAPITALS

Delhi Capitals has performed well and has been very consistent in IPL 2021 so far. The team might like to give rest to some players and give an opportunity to other players. Playing only three overseas players in the team doesn’t justify the team’s potential. 

Delhi Capitals can’t afford to change the batting order of Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, and Rishabh Pant. Delhi Capitals might not have the strongest batting lineup or even not equal to Royal challengers Bangalore. But their consistency is helping them to win the match. 

The team has one of the strongest batting lineups among all the teams of Indian Premier League 2021. Fans can expect Amit Mishra to play in tomorrow’s match and some bowlers might take a rest. 

Other Factors Analysis 

Weather Condition

The weather will be hot on October 8 in Dubai. There is no expectation of rainfall and any delay of the match due to weather. 

Pitch Condition

Dubai International Cricket ground is a good place for batsmen to score high. Based on the previous matches played on the field, we are expecting a minimum score of 150 runs. 

Toss Prediction 

The toss-winning team is most likely to bowl and field first. The dew in the stadium will bother the players, so bowling first will be best.

What is the highest score in the history of IPL matches?

In this article, we are going to talk about the highest score of the players in the history of IPL matches. Also, we will talk about what is the structure of IPL and its matches based on.

What are IPL and its structure of work?

IPL is also called as Indian Premier League, and it is home to many cricket fans.That is because there is a new player, and also there are legends who play matches in IPL.IPL was created for the entertainment of the people in the offseason of cricket, just like the NBA.

IPL has taken some ideas from different sports companies in the market and mixed them. IPL will be home to the recruit or cadet players and also the person who is new to the tournaments. You can find out more on the website ipl2021.org. These tournaments are like an early practice for all the players who play in international teams and matches.

If a new player performs well, then there is a chance of them being taken in the international team. Also, another thing that our sources found out was that IPL follows the structure laid down by the T20. In T20, there are also 20 overs and also the same amount of team members as the international games. They have copied everything from the T20 format like breaks, overs, and also, the rules are the same.

This cannot be called copyright as it is governed by the members of the BCCI and ex-cricket players. It also consists of the coaches of the Indian cricket team and the other teams in the IPL. They have also decided to include foreign personnel like the coach and the foreign player. It is compulsory by the law to include at least two foreign individuals in the IPL committee.

IPL was created in the year 2007, and the craze of it has been alive since then. Nowadays, in the year 2021, the craze has gone even more and since the outbreak of the virus. No one is allowed to go to the stadium to watch the match so they can watch the match from their home. They can either watch it on the TV, or else they can watch on the Zee5 or any other streaming app.

 What are the highest runs scored by players?

In the Royal Challenger Bangalore, there is Chris Gayle, who is playing from the West Indies team in internationals. But in IPL, he is playing from the RCB team and has scored more than 150 runs in the 2013 tournament. Brendon McCullum, who is a player of Kolkata Knight Rider, made over 140 runs in the match against RCB. He is also known to be the batsman with the highest runs scored in the T20 matches.

In 2015, AB De Villers scored over 133 runs for Mumbai Indians when they were against RCB. When the tournament was played in Dubai, a player named KL Rahul scored more than 110 runs. These were some of the players who are on the list of Indian Premier League score sheets.

KXIP vs RCB Live Score, IPL 2020: | Cricket News

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Match No. 6 of the Indian Premier League 2020 between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Dubai.

KL Rahul’s #KXIP is all set to take on Virat Kohli’s #RCB.Who are you rooting for?#KXIPvRCB https://t.co/76dowQqDGk

— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) 1600950497000

Preview: Kings XI Punjab will look to put behind the controversial ‘short run’ decision in their IPL opener and start afresh when they take on Virat Kohli’s buoyant Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday. In their opening game against Delhi Capitals, the square-leg umpire erroneously called KXIP’s Chris Jordan for a ‘short run’ in the third ball of the 19th over, effectively costing his team the closely fought game. KXIP went on to lodge an appeal to the match referee over the incident but on Thursday, KL Rahul and Co would like to forget the unsavoury incident and focus on the task ahead. In contrast, RCB opened their campaign on a winning note defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 10 runs, raising hopes that things might finally fall into place for them this season. Devdutt Padikkal started his IPL career on a classy note hitting a sublime half-century and will once again be in focus, while AB de Villers will also look to continue in the same vein following a crucial half-century. Both Kohli and Aaron Finch looked good on Monday night and would be itching to spend more time in the middle. Yuzvendra Chahal, as always, will be the key man in the RCB bowling attack. The leg-spinner was instrumental in his team’s victory on Monday, triggering a batting collapse. For KXIP, Mayank Agarwal looked in imperious touch but was gutted to not be able to get his team over the line with just one run required to win. Rahul, Glenn Maxwell and Nicholas Pooran will be expected to step up as they possess the ability to take away the game from any opposition. Big hitters Chris Gayle, who was left out of the opener for better balance in the eleven, could be back and batting all-rounder Jimmy Neesham could also be given a chance. KXIP’s bowling is spearheaded by Mohammed Shami, who proved his high worth in the team’s opener. Young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi will go into the game more confident, having impressed against Delhi Capitals. The Squads (From): Royal Challengers Bangalore: Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, Parthiv Patel, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Gurkeerat Singh, Shivam Dube, Chris Morris, Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Navdeep Saini, Dale Steyn, Yuzvendra Chahal, Adam Zampa, Isuru Udana, Moeen Ali, Josh Phillppe, Pawan Negi, Pavan Deshpande, Mohammad Siraj, Umesh Yadav. Kings XI Punjab: KL Rahul (c), Mayank Agarwal, Sheldon Cottrell, Chris Gayle, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Shami, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Karun Nair, James Neesham, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Ishan Porel, Arshdeep Singh, Murugan Ashwin, Krishnappa Gowtham, Harpreet Brar, Deepak Hooda, Chris Jordan, Sarfaraz Khan, Mandeep Singh, Darshan Nalkande, Ravi Bishnoi, Simran Singh (wk), Jagadeesha Suchith, Tajinder Singh, Hardus Viljoen.

KXIP Win against RCB in M8 of this IPL season

Kings XI Punjab made it two wins in two after they defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 8 wickets on Monday evening. Despite AB de Villiers’ blitzkrieg, KXIP did extremely well to restrict RCB to a modest 148-4 on excellent pitch at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. KXIP were clinical in the chase too; opener HashimAmla dropped anchor and scored a fluent half-century, while captain Glenn Maxwell walked into bat at the fall of the second wicket, smacked a few and hastened the formalities as KXIP strolled to a win. A target of 149 was never going to challenge KXIP. And it didn’t. The opening pair of Manan Vohra and HashimAmla got the team off to a fiery start, adding 62 runs in six overs. After Manan (34 from 21 balls) was dismissed, the hosts lost Axar Patel cheaply too. But in came captain Glenn Maxwell and polished off the run chase in quick time; Maxwell smashed 43 from 22 balls – studded with three boundaries and four sixes – as KXIP cruised past the finish line with 5.3 overs to spare. HashimAmla was aggressive early on, almost matching his opening partner stroke for stroke. By the end of the powerplay period, Amla, handed a reprieve on 20, had raced to 26 from 15 balls. But when Maxwell took charge, Amla eased himself into the background; he brought up his half-century – almost unnoticed –in the twelfth over. He remained unbeaten on 58, made from 38 balls and decorated with four boundaries and three sixes. Earlier in the evening, Royal Challengers Bangalore welcomed back AB de Villiers into the XI at the expense of Chris Gayle. The South African, who missed the first two matches to recover from a back injury, lit up the Holkar Stadium with an unbelievable assault on the KXIP bowlers. The South African walked out to bat after skipper Shane Watson was dismissed in the first over, and left the arena at the end of the innings. In the 19 overs in between, it was wholesome entertainment; de Villiers hit 9 sixes and three boundaries in his 46 ball 89 – which accounted for more than sixty percent of Royal Challengers Bangalore’s total of 148-4. de Villiers began in style; the very first delivery he faced, he square drove a wide delivery to the point boundary. In the following over, he made room and hit one over the ropes at extra cover. The South African then kept himself busy knocking the ball into the gaps and running hard even as RCB lost Vishnu Vinod and KedarJadhav to single-digit scores. de Villiers and Mandeep Singh then mixed caution and aggression to resurrect the innings; the fourth-wicket pair added 46 runs before the latter had to walk back courtesy a stunning catch by WriddhimanSaha. At the beginning of the sixteenth over, de Villiers had 31 from 28 balls; in the following five overs, he scored 58 runs from 18 balls and sent the KXIP bowlers on a leather hunt. Every six he hit was a special effort; these were not taking toll of the poor deliveries, but a player using sharp eyes and a special skill to create opportunities. Almost every one of the nine sixes he hit were brutal hits and sailed comfortably over the ropes, if not over the roof of the stadium. There was also a useful contribution from Stuart Binny, who scored 18 from 20 balls, and was involved in an 80-run stand with de Villiers. For the hosts, Sandeep Sharma and Axar Patel were the best bowlers. Sandeep had incredible first spell figures of 3-0-7-1, which were later spoilt by de Villiers’ end-overs assault. Axar opened the bowling and struck in his very first over; he later returned to bowl the remaining three overs in the middle period. Axar finished his four overs with miserly figures of 1-12 – which won him the Man of the Match award. Varun Aaron too marked a successful return to the side, finishing with figures of 2-21. Royal Challengers Bangalore: 148-4 (AB de Villiers 89*, Varun Aaron 2-21) lost to Kings XI Punjab: 150-2 in 14.3 Overs (HashimAmla 58*, Glenn Maxwell 43*) Man of the Match: Axar Patel. Click to Post
