On paper, in the lead-up to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and on the field during the opening two matches, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has given the impression of a champion outfit.
On display was its considerable batting might, power-hitting ability and shrewd bowling skills as it recorded two fantastic victories over defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders and bogey side Chennai Super Kings.
Wednesday will be RCB’s first opportunity to showcase its new, confident self to the Garden City faithful when it welcomes Gujarat Titans (GT) to the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
What should give RCB confidence is that Phil Salt up top, skipper Rajat Patidar in the middle, and Liam Livingstone and Tim David lower down have displayed serious batting muscle that can potentially take advantage of the small boundaries.
