Royal Challengers Bengaluru has the reputation of being one of the most inconsistent teams in the IPL. But for a change, they have been very consistent and persistent this year.
In the crucial game that happened against Lucknow last night, Bengaluru was beyond ordinary with that as they completed a remarkable win.
This significant victory against Lucknow takes Bengaluru directly into the top two position and qualify for playoffs. This is a pretty significant deal, considering the kind of soft landing that RCB needs to actually win the title.
Despite being active in the IPL for the last 18 years and being one of the most followed teams in the league, RCB had nothing to show for it as they have not won a single trophy till date.
But this year promises to be a different case as they have been showing signs of consistency and critical game awareness. With this crucial box ticked, Bengaluru has a pretty good chance of going all the way in the league as well.
There is no better opportunity for RCB to realise their dream that has been an aspiration for the last two decades, as they’ve come pretty close to the cherry this time. They need to hold their momentum for the next couple of games and the coveted IPL trophy will be theirs.
But with strong teams like Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans also in contention, it will most certainly not be a straightforward one for RCB.
