Consistent Top Order: 

The top order of the RCB looks good this year. Virat Kohli and Phil Salt are giving RCB a decent start. Both batters enter the game with a good mindset. During the power play, Virat and Salt do most of the work, while other batters carry the momentum. Before picking up an injury, Devdutt Padikkal used to attack bowlers down the ground. The top order used to get enough runs in the power play.

Wicket-taking bowler:

A big reason for RCB’s successful run to the playoffs is Josh Hazlewood. In 10 games, he picked up 18 wickets. With his bowling, Hazlewood has made a huge impact for RCB. With his perfect line and length, Hazlewood does not leak many runs. To support Hazlewood in bowling, Bhuveshar Kumar and Yash Dayal joined him. Both bowlers have a lot of experience and help the team get breakthroughs.

Good finisher:

This season Tim David has finished many games for RCB. Coming to bat in death over, Tim David puts pressure on bowlers. His attacking batting style changes the game. RCB also have Romario Shepherd in the same role. His 53 runs knock against CSK changed the game for RCB as the team reached 213 runs.
