The IPL season 13 has been long-awaited since its postponement due to the COVID-19 lockdown across the globe. The biggest T20 league in the world is set to take the center stage for the next 53 days from 19 September. It will see the league’s two most successful teams battle it out to begin the tournament and take it to the other venues – Sharjah and Dubai, from Abu Dhabi.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore reached the finals of the IPL the very first time the tournament went outside India in 2009. They have reached the finals, in 2011 and 2016 also. They were knocked out in the playoffs in 2010 and 2015 and finished third both times.

In IPL 2020, Virat Kohli will lead the team out once again in search of their first-ever title win in the tournament. For the upcoming season, RCB is a well-balanced side and unlike the past few years, they have a strong bowling line-up.

The pace attack is led by Dale Steyn, leggies Yuzvendra Chahal and Adam Zampa well supported by all-rounders like Isuru Udana, Chris Morris, Moeen Ali, and Washington Sundar to name a few gives them plenty of opportunities to get their playing XI right.

Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, and Mohammed Siraj are the Indian pacers in the RCB squad.

The batting side will obviously be taken care of the leaders Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers followed by Australian skipper Aaron Finch, Indian youngsters Devdutt Padikkal, Shivam Dube, and wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel. Young Australian Josh Phillippe is also a part of the RCB contingent.
