IPL 2023: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Best Playing XI, Strength and Weakness for IPL Season 16

IPL 2023: RCB Strength

Royal Challengers Bangalore are looking like an well-oiled machine ahead of the IPL 2023.

They do have some impressive players who are in decent form this season. Virat Kohli has scored plenty of runs for India in the T20 format since the T20 World Cup, while Faf du Plessis was also outstanding in the SA20 a couple on months ago.

Along with their strong batting lineup, RCB have stacked in Michael Bracewell, Manoj Bhandage in their setup, who can provide decent backup to their first-choice all-rounders. Also, in terms of bowling, Mohammed Siraj is going through a rich vein of form and anything similar to his current form will be an immense boost. RCB have a decent squad and an injury-free season for them can yield terrific results for them.

IPL 2023: RCB weakness

RCB's only concern will be the lack of cohesion and mettle at the crunch time. In the past, they have faltered at important matches and have squandered opportunities. Although RCB always have been blessed with a decent squad, their lack of cohesion and unity have been one of their damaging factors.

Another area where RCB lack is a quality Indian spinner as the departed Yuzvendra Chahal hasn't been replaced yet.
