Wanindu Hasaranga will be unavailable for us until the ninth of this month, Bangar said during the pre-game press conference. Last season, Hasaranga was the RCB’s leading wicket-taker and the second-highest wicket-taker overall, with 26 scalps in 16 matches at an average of 16.53 and an economy rate of 7.54.
In the previous season, his best bowling figures were 5/18. According to the coach, England pacer Reece Topley will be a like-for-like replacement for Australian quick Josh Hazlewood, who will miss the first half of the league due to an achilles injury.
We kind of expected it (Hazlewood missing IPL games), and we planned for it during the auction and pre-auction meetings. Reece Topley is a comparable replacement for him. I am confident that his left-arm bowling will add to our bowling strength Bangar stated.
On Rajat Patidar’s status, who is also expected to miss the first half of the IPL due to a heel injury, Bangar stated that the batter is receiving treatment at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru and that the franchise is awaiting clarification from him.

Bangar commented on returning to M Chinnaswammy Stadium after a three-year absence Boys are ecstatic. The build-up was excellent. We had the RCB Unbox event as well as the team management’s Hall of Fame event.
The reaction to these events was positive, and it gave the new boys goosebumps because they had never experienced the atmosphere at Chinnaswammy Stadium. I hope fans continue to provide energy as they have in the past.
Last year, RCB qualified for the playoffs but were defeated by Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in qualifier 2.
