Former Indian cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has praised the bowling lineup of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), as they have won 7 out of their 10 games. Sanjay said that RCB has had six different ‘Player of the Matches’ in 7 matches, and their bowling lineup is the major thing that keeps their opponents in a target that is achievable.
“RCB have finally found the winning formula. It’s not about one guy in the team. 7 wins, 6 different players’ of the match! (clap emojis),” Manjrekar wrote on X.

“4 off RCB’s 7 wins have come in chases. Targets 174, 175, 157 & 162. It’s their bowlers that have made the real difference this season!,” he wrote in another post.

Though Virat Kohli got the orange cap for his knock of 51 off 47, Krunal Pandya was awarded the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 47-ball 73. Krunal helped RCB complete their target with 6 wickets remaining.
RCB bowlers did well in the middle overs. Though Suyash Sharma could not take any wicket, he turned out economical. Josh Hazlewood struck twice, whereas Bhuvneshwar Kumar secured three wickets. Manjrekar stated that the top 4 teams on the points table are the teams that have the best bowling lineup.
“The top 4 bowling attacks in the IPL are GT, DC, RCB & MI. Which are the top 4 teams on the table right now? Yes. Batters get spotlight. Bowlers get you points,” Manjrekar wrote.
