IPL 2020: RCB players take a unique ‘Yorker Challenge’ during the practice session

Bowling yorkers is one of the most quintessential factors in white-bal꧂l cricket. A bowler who is able to bowl yorkers consistently is highly valued in the limited-overs format.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) traditionally has struggled in their bowling department. There have been various instances when RCB had to face defeat due to the inef🔥ficacies in their bowling unit, despite posting daunt🐻ing totals.

This time around, under the watch of head coach Simon Katich and bowling coach Adam Griffith, RC♏B is looking to make amends of their shortcomings in the bowling dep♒artment.

The coaching staff devised an innovative training drill to help RCB bowlers to nail their yorkers. They kept a stump at the blockhole area and encouraged bowlers to hit the yorkers consistently.

“Our bowling coach, Adam Griffith, comes up with a fun and challenging competition to help our bowlers fire in those yorkers. Safe to say all our bowlers are sharpshooters! #PlayBold #IPL2020 #WeAreChallengers,” RCB captioned their post.

Captain Kohli seen in good spirits

Gurkeerat Singh Mann, fast bowler Isuru Udana, Navdeep Saini, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal along with all-rounders Shivam Dube and Shahbaz Ahmed hit the yorkers perfectly.

Captain Virat Kohli was seen in good spirits along with his teammates. This time around, RCB has come up with🉐 a strong unit on pa💖per.

Aaron Finch is expected to assi💟st Kohli in making important captaincy decisions. The likes of Udana and Chris Morris will strengthen their bowling department.

RCB received a huge blow with the exit of their latest recruit, Kane Richardson. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa will replace his Australian teammate at the Challengers’ camp.

RCB will face-off against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their first match of IPL 2020 on 21st September in Dubai. They will be in search of their maid✃en IPL trophy. The Challengers are one of the only three teams to participate in all twelv꧃e seasons of IPL, without securing a title victory.
