RCB will be well-positioned in the TATA IPL 2023 thanks to the batting duo of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis: Imran Tahir

There have been some thrilling matches involving all 10 teams during the first half of the TATA IPL 2023

(Cricket news) When they competed at Eden Gardens, RCB was defeated by a significant score of 81 runs in the opening match between the two teams in the TATA IPL 2023. In addition to trying to even the score at home, the hosts will be hoping to secure two significant points.

The good record of RCB’s regular and acting captains, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, according to former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh, has been the team’s greatest strength. The easy atmosphere in the locker room will be maintained by the runs coming off of their bats.

Harbhajan Singh said on Star Sports’ Cricket Live,”Virat Kohli will have to take the responsibility to keep RCB up. His partnership with Faf will be crucial. Virat and Faf are in good form and this will always give relief to RCB.”

Imran Tahir, a former South African cricketer, thinks Virat Kohli must continue to be the centre of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team and bat long in the forthcoming matches.

Imran Tahir said on Star Sports’ Cricket Live, “Virat Kohli is a class batsman. It has always been difficult for me to get him out. I want him to score a lot of runs in IPL. His team has high hopes for him and for this reason, Virat should think about staying on the wicket for a little longer.”

Earlier Wednesday night, Gujarat Titans, captained by Hardik Pandya, defeated Mumbai Indians by a score of 55 runs. Against his old organisation, Hardik led his troops with exceptional precision and demonstrated his leadership skills by implementing sound tactical decisions.

Irfan Pathan, a former Indian cricketer who has seen Hardik Pandya rise to prominence up close, praised the star all-rounder for both his athletic prowess and growth as a leader.

Irfan Pathan stated on Star Sports’ Cricket Live, “I have seen Hardik mature with time. Earlier he used to take things to heart but today, he reacts very thoughtfully. Hardik has handled himself with each and every responsibility. Wherever he is today, it is the result of his hard work.”
