RCB's run in IPL 2021
RCB had a great start to this edition of the IPL, winning five of their seven games. They were placed third in the points table below the Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings when the season was suspended back in April.
Their IPL 2021 campaign was bolstered by the arrival of Glenn Maxwell and Kyle Jamieson. The duo of Maxwell and Jamieson positively impacted their batting and bowling fronts, respectively.
RCB will be hoping for Kohli and co. to continue in the same vein when the remainder of the IPL resumes in the UAE from September 19 to October 15.
