IPL 2023: Change of guard imminent as RCB’s wait for elusive title continues

The Hindu  

When Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell combine for Royal Challengers Bangalore, memories hark back to the times when the trio of Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers would send fans into raptures. The injury-forced absence of Rajat Patidar – who scored 333 runs at an average of 55.5 and strike-rate of 152.75 in 2022 – was unfortunate, but it would be a stretch to conclude that all of the side’s batting ills could have been cured by just one man’s presence. While there was some consternation about the pace at which Kohli made his runs – something he corrected in the final two matches, scoring centuries off 63 and 60 balls, respectively – head coach Sanjay Bangar felt meagre returns from the middle-order could have influenced how the top-order played. “Maybe if our lower order was going strong and converting whatever fewer balls they had, we would have gotten 10-15 runs extra or maybe the top order would have played more fearlessly.
