Virat Played Major Part In RCB’s Success, Bowling Unit Performed Exceptionally, Says Kumble On RCB’s Title Run
Indian Premier League: With the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) set to begin on March 28, former India captain Anil Kumble reflected on Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s long-awaited title triumph last year, crediting both Virat Kohli’s influence and the team’s improved bowling unit for their success.
Kumble explained that while Kohli remained central to the franchise’s rise, the bowlers played a decisive role in helping the side clinch their maiden IPL crown. "Virat plays a major part in RCB's success. But if you look at last year, whenever RCB were successful, their bowling unit also came to the fore," he said, speaking on JioStar.
Kumble noted that RCB’s attack delivered consistently throughout the campaign, with experienced pacers and a dynamic spin duo making key contributions, saying, "I feel Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar certainly contributed a lot. The two spinners, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma, were also a surprise package. The bowling unit performed exceptionally well for them to win the trophy."
