Earlier, the Kohli-led RCB side was tipped to win their maiden IPL title in the UAE by former Australia spinner Brad Hogg.
“They (RCB) will have a big chance to take out an IPL. They have always had good stock on paper. However, they have never been able to go out and get the job done,” Hogg said in video uploaded on his YouTube channel.
“Now, with the inclusion of (Aaron) Finch at the top, he will be able to dominate the powerplay overs. He will get quick runs and relieve the pressure off AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli in the middle-order,” Hogg stated.
“Also, their bowling attack looks strong with Dale Steyn and Kane Richardson. RCB have a better team balance as compared to last couple of years. They will have a better strategy going into the tournament,” added Hogg.
