Delhi: In the season of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) started a bang under the captaincy of Rajat Patidar. In the first match, RCB defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in his house and then won after 17 years at the home ground in Chennai. After these two consecutive wins, RCB is being discussed fiercely. Meanwhile, veteran AB de Villiers, who played for RCB for many years, has warned the rest of the teams.
De Villiers appreciated RCB’s strength
AB de Villiers said in his podcast, “This time the balance of RCB team seems to be 10 times better than last season. During the last IPL auction I said that the team needed balance. It was not just about bowlers, batsmen or fielders, but about the option and balance of the team.”
De Villiers further said, “When I saw Bhuvneshwar Kumar, I felt that he was not playing in the first match, but he was part of the team in the second match. The same is the most important as a franchise – a player should not play in the first match but in the second match, the team should come and strengthen the team. The same balance and depth is being seen in this team.”
Great start for RCB
De Villiers praised RCB, saying, “This is the best beginning of RCB so far. It is not just the result of the results, but it seems the same in the way of the team’s game. To defeat KKR in his house and defeat Chennai in Chepak, it was quite spectacular. It will improve their position in the points table and the journey ahead can make it easier.”
