PBKS vs RCB SWOT Analysis: Punjab & Bangalore Look To Start Fresh With New Skippers
Both Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings have got new captains in Faf du Plessis and Mayank Agarwal. Barring the retained picks, both teams have gone for a reset in terms of personnel in batting as well as bowling. We dissect how these two teams look ahead of their opening match on Sunday evening.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Strength
There was a time when Bangalore's main strength was their batting. But this time around, it is a perennial weak link, while bowling is emerging as a point of strength for them. They couldn't get back Yuzvendra Chahal but have got Sri Lanka's emerging leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who has set the international stage on fire. Bangalore also have an Indian leg-spinner in Karn Sharma apart from the left-arm spin of all-rounders Shahbaz Ahmed and Mahipal Lomror and the handy part-time off-spin of Glenn Maxwell.
