RCB's continued woes...!? This player is also out due to injury?

The 18th indian Premier League season begins on march 21. The IPL series will be held until the end of May. CSK, who have won 5 trophies each, are not only strong against mumbai Indians but also the defending champions kolkata Knight Riders, punjab Kings, and lucknow Super Giants. However, the royal challengers Bangalore team looks different than usual. RCB, which used to target only big star players, seems to have abandoned that strategy this time and has looked at and selected those who are suitable for the team combination.

Mo Bobat has done everything RCB needs since this is the first mega auction since he became the director of RCB. dinesh karthik has also identified young local players as the team's advisor. Mo Bobat played a key role in building the england team for the 2019 World Cup. In that regard, this time he has given RCB a lot of english players in the foreign player line-up like Bill Salt, Liam Livingston, Jacob Bethel. Apart from these, Hazlewood, Tim David, Nuwan Thushara, Romario Shepherd, Lungi Ingidi and others have been included.

In this, Bill Salt, Liam Livingston, Jacob Bethel, and Hazlewood were expected to be in the playing eleven initially. In this, since Hazlewood has already been ruled out of the Champions Trophy series due to injury, doubts have arisen as to whether he will play in the IPL series or not. This has caused great sadness for RCB fans. In this situation, Jacob Bethel has been ruled out of the 3rd ODI and the Champions Trophy series due to a hamstring injury in the ODI series against England. In an environment where there were high expectations on Bethel, who had scored a half-century in the first ODI, his current injury has caused further setbacks for RCB. If Jacob Bethel does not recover from his injury during the IPL series, Dewalt Brevis, Don Lawrence, Shai Hope, and others can be taken as replacements in the team. They will add strength to RCB's middle order.
