With RCB undefeated this season and having achieved success in every area, Eoin Morgan said the team has benefited greatly from the new additions to their roster, relying on their offensive mentality, particularly while playing away.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has emerged as one of the most reliable and potent teams as the IPL 2025 season draws to a close. RCB is almost certain to qualify for the playoffs with 14 points from 10 games and second place in the standings. The aggressive strategy, top-order ambition, and bowling depth of RCB were hailed by former England captain Eoin Morgan as key factors in their win.
“RCB has done a lot of things correctly, in my opinion. The way Phil Salt and Virat Kohli have conducted themselves at the top of the order this year is one of the things I’ve truly loved watching. Although I am aware that Jacob has lately replaced Phil, their aggressiveness at the top enabled them to maintain the same mindset throughout the middle order. “How they’ve gained momentum, particularly away from home, and then come back to Chinnaswamy to get their first win, is more important than the number of runs,” Eoin Morgan on JioStar.
They have also bowled quite well: Eoin Morgan
This year, the RCB has changed in more ways than one. Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood has been a key member of their bowling team. Hazlewood is at the top of the list of wicket-takers with 18 wickets in 10 games at an average of 17.27 and an economy of 8.44.
They have also bowled quite well, especially Josh Hazlewood. Applying himself to T20 cricket, like he did for CSK in 2021, demonstrates how one of the world’s top Test bowlers has developed into a superb multi-format player. With the style of cricket they’re playing going into the playoffs, there’s enough to be happy about if you’re an RCB supporter, Morgan continued.
The Indian core of Devdutt Padikkal, Krunal Pandya, Jitesh Sharma, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who have backed the international stars and veteran players like Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar, was significantly invested in by the team at the super auction. Kohli has amassed 443 runs this season, including four fifties in his previous five innings.
