5. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) – Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis
Rating: 7/10
RCB are one of the most celebrated teams in the history of the tournament. They are known to enjoy an extensive fanbase who have always kept RCB in the limelight. Their batting is led by the world’s current best all-format player and veteran Indian batter Virat Kohli. Kohli has been the star performer in the league throughout all these years and is expected to excel at the top of the order in IPL 2023 as well
The Challengers would hope that Kohli continues his splendid form of limited-overs cricket. Alongside Kohli is the protea veteran du Plessis, who is known for building an aggressive and efficient partnership at the top of the order. The RCB pair is extensively experienced but their efficiency is sometimes questioned due to their lack of form and du Plessis’ absence from international cricket.
