Royalꦜ Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be ꦗlooking forward to changing the fortunes and win the crown for the first time in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
𝐆The everlasti🐽ng underachievers of the IPL belong to an undesirable group of teams who are yet to lay their hands on the title.
Ahead of the next season, RCB are busy planning their best eleven. The Virat Kohli-led sꦛide is also looking for a𝕴n opener who can provide them with flying starts.
After remaining unused💯 in the previous season, there are high chances that left-handed batsman Devdutt Padikkal can be picked as one of the first players in the playing XI of Team Red.
The recent exploits of Padikkal in the Syed Muಞshtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) is a testamen𒊎t to the kind of form he is in.

Since Padikkal is the talk of the town, so the official Instagram handle of RCB asked followers whether the Karnataka batsman should get an opportunity to play as an opener or should RCB stick with Gujarat bo🧸rn Parthiv Patel.
“We’ve to chase a target of 240. Virat has come out at the non-striker’s end. Who will you pick to open the batting for us? #PlayBold
Fans were busy to choose their favorite, but in the meantime, Parthiv came up with a witty reply, “why do you want us to give away 239 runs?” wrote former Indian wicket-keeper.
Parthiv has played 139 matches in the cash-rich 🐈league and clubbed over 2800 runs, with 81 being his highest score. He has alsಞo smashed 13 fifties in the IPL.
