Aakash Chopra On RCB’s Qualification: With every season of IPL, the fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore hope that this time their favorite team will win the IPL title, but this has not happened in the last 15 years. At the same time, before the 16th season of IPL, former Indian player Akash Chopra has made a big prediction about RCB. Akash Chopra said that he might not make it to the top-3.
‘They probably won’t make it to the top-3’
Talking about RCB, former Indian player Aakash Chopra said, “This team should qualify but Bengaluru’s problem comes when they start playing at home. They are a great team when they play at natural venues. This would be a different kind of challenge. They may be on top. They can finish anywhere between four and six. He probably will not come in the top-3.
Told the bowlers the important link
Talking about the RCB bowlers, Aakash Chopra said, “The bowlers column decides where you will go because the batting almost cancels each other out, especially when you play at home. The first name is of Vanindu Hasaranga. After this, there is a big question mark on the availability of Josh Hazlewood.
Hazlewood was injured while playing the home test against South Africa. Due to this, he was ruled out of the Test and ODI series played against India. Akash Chopra believes that without Josh Hazlewood, the bowling of the team can be weak.
The former Indian captain said, “He is not playing for Australia at present. So it is expected that they may not be available in the beginning. If Josh Hazlewood remains unavailable, then the team of foreign fast bowlers looks a bit weak. They have sent Jason Behrendorff to Mumbai.”
Akash further said, “You will see Reece Topley, David Willey, Mohammad Siraj, Siddharth Kaul and Harshal Patel. He also has Karan Sharma and Akashdeep. There are many names, some of them are good too. The bowling looked good but if Josh Hazlewood is not there then it will make the team very weak, because David Willey cannot do this job.
