Former India wicket-keeper batsman Deep Dasgupta laid out his concerns for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) heading into the second leg of the IPL within the UAE. The franchise has made a few substitutions to their squad prior to this year.
Dasgupta, whereas lauding the recruitment prepare executed by the team, notes that the number of changes may be an area of concern. The three-time finalists made the foremost substitutions among all the groups, with a few of their squad individuals selecting to pull back from the squad ahead of the campaign.
“One major concern is that they have quite a few changes. Another concern comes in the form of the unavailability of Washington Sundar. Someone like a Maxwell will have to bowl a lot more.” he said
However, He reserved praise for Maxwell, who has donned a capable part so far in his spell with RCB.
“RCB’s performances were pleasantly surprising. The biggest advantage is that Maxwell is performing. Somehow this year because to a great extent of Maxwell doing well snd taking responsibility, it does not look like RCB is all about ABD and Virat Kohli.” he added

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will next be up against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on September 20 in Abu Dhabi. They have reserved within the likes of Dushmanta Chameera, Wanindu Hasaranga, Tim David, George Carton, and Akash Deep as substitutions.
“CSK have been absolutely brilliant. There was a change in approach from 2020 IPL. They looked extremely good and fearless. CSK, to a great extent, has been a bowling-dependent team or rather a spinner-dependent team, but this time it was different, the batsmen were playing freely. There is a very good balance of left-handed batsmen and right-handed batsman in the batting unit, it is also very flexible.” added Dasgupta
