Aakash Chopra Picks RCB’s ‘Five Gun Batters’ to Lead the Charge in IPL 2024
Aakash Chopra, a former Indian batter, has examined Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s hitting lineup ahead of the IPL 2024 season. He emphasized that the RCB team has significant depth in their hitting section, with numerous match winners.
Aakash Chopra stated in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel:
“Look at their batting. You will have Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli at the start. Then comes Cameron Green followed by either Glenn Maxwell or Rajat Patidar – these five gun batters. If you feel Rajat Patidar wasn’t in form in Tests, it doesn’t matter, whoever reaches the Chinnaswamy regains his form.”

Regarding the middle-order and backup hitting possibilities, Aakash Chopra added:
“This team also has Will Jacks among the backups. So they have a lot of options. The top five or six are as good as you can have. Faf and Kohli were very consistent last year and Maxi has also become consistent now. He is a very good player and Cameron Green is gun.”
