5 reasons why RCB will win IPL 2018

The legendary partnership of AB- Kohli will help RCB rise from the ashes

#5 Fresh start after the last season woes

IPL 2017 was RCB’s worst year in the history of the tournament. Managing just three wins in the fourteen league games forced them to end at the bottom of the table, a true reflection of the state of the team for which nothing seemed to have gone right.

However, RCB has always been a fighting unit, evident from their 2009 turnaround when they finished as runners-up, after being second last in 2008 (they had won only 3 matches in 2008 as well). The team will immensely benefit from the presence of fierce competitors such as Kohli and de Villiers who shall lead their upward journey this season.

The duo holds the record for the two highest partnerships in IPL history, that of 229 and 215*. The team will heavily depend on them to set challenging totals and also motivate the youngsters, who stand a great learning opportunity with such legends in their dressing room.

A new decade, a new season, and fresh faces in the team will go a long way in forgetting the woes of the past and beginning a successful journey that will see the Men in Red assail opponents and rewrite some pages of IPL history in golden letters.
