Royal Challengers Bangalore Predicted Playing 11 

Although Royal Challengers Bangalore joined the Indian Premier League in 2008, they are yet to win the tournament. Despite performing impressively in 2010, 2015, and 2022, they were runners-up in 2009, 2011, and 2016. In the last season, IPL 2022, RCB won 8 out of 14 matches with Faf du Plessis as their new captain. RCB has been labelled "underachievers" due to their lack of success over the years. Interestingly, RCB holds both the highest and lowest totals in the IPL, scoring 263/5 at their best and a meagre 49 at their worst. Despite this, RCB has a passionate fan base, and with a relatively settled team in 2023, they will continue their pursuit of their first championship title.

Captain: Ruturaj Gaikwad, an opening batsman from Pune, was retained by CSK for INR 6 crore after scoring 635 runs, including a high score of 101*, in 16 matches during the 2021 IPL. Ruturaj Gaikwad has played 40 matches so far in his IPL career and has scored 1404 runs, with an average of 40.11. He has achieved one century and 12 half-centuries, and his highest score in the IPL is 101 runs. 

Additionally, he has hit 123 fours and 57 sixes during his IPL career. He has been a reliable performer for Maharashtra and was the highest run-scorer for them in the league stage of the 2018-19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. CSK had acquired him for his base price of INR 20 lakhs at the 2019 IPL player auction, and he has since been their most consistent opener. Gaikwad is expected to continue his good form in the upcoming IPL season. According to experts at Frolic 11, Ruturaj Gaikwad is the perfect match for Captain.

‍

Vice-Captain: Glenn Maxwell, a versatile player known for his destructive batting skills, has been retained by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for IPL 2022 at a price of INR 11 crores. He had a remarkable performance in the 2021 edition of the league, scoring 513 runs in 15 matches with a strike rate of 144.10. In his IPL career so far, Glenn Maxwell has featured in 113 matches and has accumulated a total of 2395 runs at an average of 25.75. He has also smashed 14 half-centuries, with his highest score being 95 runs. Moreover, Maxwell has hit a total of 201 fours and 135 sixes in the IPL. Additionally, he has taken 28 wickets with an average of 39.14 and an economy rate of 8.30. 

Maxwell has always been a sought-after player at the IPL auction due to his ability to hit big and his superb fielding and off-spin contributions. In 2014, he had an outstanding season with Kings XI Punjab, where he formed a formidable partnership with David Miller. Punjab Kings released him ahead of the 2021 edition, and he was later bought by RCB for a whopping INR 14.25 crores. However, he will now return to Punjab Kings, who secured his services for INR 10.75 crores. According to experts at Frolic 11, Glenn Maxwell is the perfect match for Vice-Captain.
