IPL 2020: RCB's team of the decade

Bowlers- Yuzvendra Chahal, Mitchell Starc, Zaheer Khan and Vinay Kumar

Bowling has been the weak point of RCB

One of the main reasons behind RCB’s failure in IPL has been their weak bowling line-up. Despite having a mammoth total on the board, RCB’s bowlers have let the batsmen down with their disappointing performances. Though RCB have had talented bowlers in their lineup, they have never fired as a unit.

Yuzvendra Chahal has been RCB's lead bowler since he joined the franchise in 2014. His wicket-taking abilities have won several matches for the Bold Army. His best bowling figures are 4/25, which came in the year 2016.

The fast bowling department features the trio of Mitchell Starc, Zaheer Khan and Vinay Kumar, who have troubled some of the best batsmen over the years. Even though Starc has played just 2 seasons for RCB, he has grabbed 34 wickets. His best performance came in IPL 2015 as he bagged 20 wickets at an economy rate of 6.76 and an average of 14.55.

The side also features another left-handed pacer in Zaheer Khan. He had played 4 IPL seasons for RCB in the years 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013. He ended his career for RCB by scalping 49 wickets in those 4 seasons. Zak performed his best for RCB in the year 2012 where he picked up 17 wickets.

Vinay Kumar has played 5 IPL seasons for the Royal Challengers Banglore side and 3 of them came in this decade. He had scalped 23 wickets for Bangalore in 2013, yet the franchise did not keep him for the next season. This decision had surprised a few fans however, Kumar always gave his best for his home franchise.
