RCB Playing 11

There’s no brainer that RCB will continue with their opening combination. Skipper Faf du Plessis along with Virat Kohli are most likely to be the opening pair. Rajat Patidar, who impressed one and all, is almost certain to bat at No.3 in the IPL 2023.

RCB invested heavily in Glenn Maxwell and it’s fair to say that he lived up to the expectations. The swashbuckling all-rounder is expected to bat at No.4 for the franchise in IPL 2023. His ability to bowl also makes him a certain addition to playing XI.

Mahipal Lomror is likely to get a nod ahead of Suyash Prabhudessai at No.5 while Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed, who many times bailed RCB out of trouble, are likely to be next in the line.
