Almost a week before facing Sunrisers Hyderabad(Hyd) (SRH) in their own opening game of the season, Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) attended in their own 1st practise match. Awhile Kohli commanded one such groups within the intra-squad match, their own lead spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has been called as captain of the different tandem. Chahal’s side pulled off a big heist by defeating Kohli’s side.
The likes of Parthiv Patel & Dale Steyn have been part of Tandem Kohli awhile AB de Villiers, who scored critical 43 in a low-scoring encounter, represented Tandem Chahal. The franchise has not revealed much info from that game however it did disclose that de Villiers’ attempt saw Chahal’s side win the practise match.
Uncapped spinner Shahbaz Ahmed also shone for Tandem Chahal & bowled a matching-winning spell of 3/13 in his own 4 overs.
Curiously, Kohli opened the innings with Parthiv Patel awhile Devdutt Padikkal kicked off the trials with de Villiers. Kohli is affirmed to open the innings with either of Padikkal (or) Patel. RCB’s latest posts have recommended that there going to be a alter within the tandem’s opening combination & that Padikkal might make his own IPL entry this season.
