IPL 2022: Dinesh Karthik calls Faf du Plessis TACTICAL GENIUS, 5 big reasons why he can end RCB’s trophy drought in IPL 2022
At InsideSport, we take a look at 5 big reasons why RCB can finally end its trophy drought this season.
EXPERIENCE
Faf du Plessis has rich experience of leading South Africa in international cricket. Thus, he knows how to handle players, including those who are out of form. He has registered 70 wins in 115 matches with a win percentage of 60.86. Former CSK stalwart has not only won IPL titles with Dhoni & Co but also led SA in Cricket World Cups. Moreover, he knows how to handle pressure as he has worked closely with the coolest brains in cricket, MS Dhoni.
RISE OF YOUNGSTERS
The likes of Anuj Rawat, Shahbaz Ahmed and Suyash Prabhudessai have been a revelation for RCB and new talents are the new force behind IPL 2022 success. The entire RCB squad including Mike Hesson & Glenn Maxwell.
Mike Hesson talks about Shahbaz’s growth, Maxwell lauds the fielding efforts of two #RCB players, Siraj and Hazlewood explain how it was to bowl on that wicket, while DK credits the coaches and captain for sticking to their plans after our win against DC.#PlayBold #IPL2022 pic.twitter.com/1JMpHOHlRp

WANINDU HASARANGA
Sri Lanka pacer Wanindu Hasaranga has been a revelation for RCB. He has repaid big faith after Rs 10.75 crore bid at the mega auction to feature in IPL 2022 Purple Cap list. The leg-break becomes a big headache for batters with the ability to bowl in powerplay overs. He has taken 11 wickets in only 6 appearances as he sets his eyes on Purple Cap.
DINESH KARTHIK
Dinesh Karthik has turned out to be IPL 2022 Best Finisher with 197 runs in 6 matches. He has only been dismissed once in those six innings. If he continues to be a big headache in death overs, then he will easily book a place in the playoffs.
POWERFUL BATTING & BOWLING LINEUP
Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell can all destroy any bowler on their day. If one of them fires every match then the opposition can only wonder about their batting elegance. The bowling department is equally fuelled by the likes of Josh Hazlewood and the last IPL season’s Purple Cap winner Harshal Patel.
