[Devadwal]

Rcb win

 

[Hasan123]

What a game. Well played RCB and Harshal.

 

[Shams123]

Brad pit has such a great smile

 

[Sunzi]

Nice opener to the tourney! RCB made a meal of it after good restrictive work in the field.

Made for good viewing! AB still has it!

Great win for RCB. ABD looked about 70% as good as he used to be at his peak but that was enough for the win. 160 was not enough runs by MI.

 

[King_Kohli]

RCB fans need to stock 100 BP tablets for this season.

 

[Saj]

de Villiers changed the course of the game.

Superb innings.

Also very impressed with the tall pacer Jansen.

 

[Devadwal]

Harshal should get man of the match

 

[King_Kohli]

DC traded Harshal Patel and Daniel Sams to RCB.
And DC bought Umesh Yadav.

I still feel that RCB had a better team last year. It is still one game but Morris is a proper death over bowler compared to Jamieson who is just a new bowl bowler.

Siraj is already there to take the new bowl so they should have stayed with Morris. Also, Shivam Dube is India's best pace bowling all-rounder after Pandya and Shardul and they should have persisted with him. All-rounders have high impact in this format if persisted and developed well. Leaving him out and playing young Indian batsman at that position isn't a good option in my opinion as you can't expect much from them.

Harshal Patel is the only good option they have got as he contributes with bat too but I was surprised a bit too much with his death over bowling today, might be a one-off you never know.

I feel this season team is better than last 5 seasons.
6 to 7 bowling options, Maxi and Christian are added strength in middle order.
Siraj is now matured bowler, Jamieson showing variations and slow bouncers.
Team looks good once DDP is back.

Lets see how they will progress from here.

It all depends on which Maxi shows up in this tournament. The start is good but a long way to go. We all know what we will get from AB, Kohli and Paddikal. But what we will get from Maxi and even Christian will be deciding factor.

Chahal form is big worry for RCB
