Delhi: A few days ago, after excluding Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) veteran Virat Kohli from the list of the most important batsmen of IPL 2025, former Indian cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar commented on RCB’s victory in seven matches. Manjrekar said that RCB has adopted its victory strategy properly and his bowlers have played an important role in the team’s success. He told that RCB has selected six different ‘Player of the Match’ in seven matches, which reflects the collective strength of the team.
RCB’s victory strategy
Manjrekar wrote on X, “RCB has finally found a way to win. It is not dependent on any one player. 7 wins, 6 different players of the match!”
“RCB’s 4 out of 7 wins have come up. The goals were, 174, 175, 157 and 162. The real difference is by his bowlers this season!” He said this in another post.

This season, Virat Kohli has won the orange cap, but star all -rounder Krunal Pandya received the ‘Player of the Match’ award for 73 runs in his brilliant 47 balls. Krunal hit 5 fours and 4 sixes in his innings and helped to win RCB. Apart from this, he also took important wickets of Fafa du Plessis.
RCB bowlers’ great performance
RCB bowlers made a great comeback despite the initial fast run. Fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 3 wickets, while Josh Hazlewood won the purple cap with 2 wickets. Spin bowler Suyash Sharma did not take the wicket, but managed to stop the run with his bowling. Yash Dayal did not let Karun Nair be comfortable. Manjrekar said that the teams who are bowling well in the IPL are at the top of the points table.
Manjrekar’s idea on the role of bowlers
Manjrekar tweeted, “The top 4 bowling attacks of the IPL are – GT, DC, RCB and Mi. And the same 4 teams are up in the table. The batsman attracts attention, but the bowlers give you points.”
The Top 4 Bowling Attacks in the IPL are GT, DC, RCB & Mi. Which are the top 4 teams on the table right now? Yes. Batters Get Spotlight. Bowlers get you points.#Iplonjiostar
