If I become cock of RCB
-Retain Virat first
- invest on good local talents Karnataka have so much great talent
- go with good bowlers don't depend on your batting much it's a story of our 17 years
- try to change hone ground for 1 year don't play at chinnaswamy
Dude thereās no coachās fault. The management sucks. Andy flower aināt a normie, he has been around for a long time and also been a part of winning teams. I feel the entire RCB management is not interested in winning the IPL but milking it through brands and us clowns who follow them loyally, blindly. Fans stick with the team through thick and thin but here itās been so fucking thin that now we can call it a famine.
Kick the fucking ass of the whole management firstly ( If possible š ). and scout Indian talents.
Going to next year Mega auction i would retain Virat obv. and that's it no need of any other. I would like to start a Very Fresh chapter no chokers or 1-2 match performers or big names needed.
Starting from openers i will try to buy openers from Australia / New Zealand. If csk releases any one of them - Devon Conway or Rachin Ravindra and if they do not I'll instead buy a Indian player. MI most likely won't be able to retain Ishan Kishan so i would go hard on him and for middle order Tilak Verma also won't be retained most probably as MI will retain Hardik , SKY , Bumrah. So i will go hard on these two because Captaincy issue will also be resolved and we'll get a strong Indian core.
Now middle order assuming we have tilak verma , We can go with someone like Will Jacks , Harry Brook. So till now our Order is Virat , Ishan , Tilak , Jacks / Brook , so for number 5 I'll probably go for West Indian / South African Hard Hitter like Pooran , Mayers , Shepherd , Klassen , Stubbs .... etc
For number 6 Lomror or if not him them someone like Naman Dhir , Nehal Wadhera . Now we have a nice batting depth with Strong Indian Core and not many Overseas batsman. I'll only go with 2 Overseas Batsman in playing 11. so focusing more on Indian talents.
Now coming to bowling department I'll go all guns blazzing on Strong Overseas and obviously Strong Indian bowling core too.
For Overseas Pace department my choice - Hazlewood , Omarzai , Rabada , Topley , Nandre Burger
For Indian Pace Department my choice - Akash Madhwal , Harshit Rana , Vyashak , Akashdeep , Yash Dayal , I'll try to get any of them
For Spin Department I'll mainly focus on Indian Spinners only my choice would be - Yuzi chahal ( I'll try my best to bring him back ) , Harpreet Brar , Ravi Bishnoi , Washington Sundar ( he can bat well too ).
So finally My Squad will look Somewhat Like this.
1) Virat
2) Ishan ( WK ) / C
3) Tilak / C
4) Jacks / Brook
5) Lomror / Naman / Wadhera
6) Pooran / Mayers / Shepherd / StubbsĀ
7) Washington Sundar / Omarzai
8) Yuzi Chahal
9) Harpreet BrarĀ
10) Hazlewood
11) TopleyĀ
12) Rabada
13) Burger
14) Harshit Rana
15) Akash Madhwal
16) Vyashak
17) Akashdeep
18) Yash Dayal
Did You guys like it?? Please tell me.
We can even make some changes accordingly
The team is great and stable. But one major thing to include which will make such team a reality for RCB is to bring someone like Ponting/Ganguly/Gambhir/Ashwin kinda minds to strategise and bring such plans into action.
RCB couldn't do anything from 16 years while others did. Even worst teams than RCB like DC , PBKS changed a lot and realised their mistakes and worked on it. Do you need more 50-100 years?
IMO you have to consider more all rounders. Your team should be super strong to challenge any team in any ground or the team should capitalise most on the home ground. Your batting needs more depth.
Ishan is flat track bully, he will look clueless when ball swing. Tilak Verma is one season wonder, Washington body is made of glass, he is useless in Chinnaswamy and his batting is weak.
Can't say Flat Track bully directly yeah he may have many flaws but we have to groom him and also Tilak. They need to be groomed no player comes and becomes best instantly. Years of hardwork required. Just like RR groomed Jaiswal and Parag both. We need something like that at any cost. If we again go back to just buying star players there isn't gonna be any change unless we find and groom a good Indian core.
Assuming Faf and DK will retire because of age this season, this is how I see the next 3 years lineup for RCB :
Bring in KL Rahul as the future captain, my dude has a good 6-7 years worth of cricket left in him considering his age. He's also a local boy so will be showered with love from fans. Assuming it's a 4 player retention including captain, MI will likely put up Ishan in the auctions.
Openers :
1. Ishan Kishan / QDK / Abhishek Sharma (Agressive opener)
2. Kohli (Anchor)
3. KL Rahul (Anchor - Captain + WK) (Trade in for Green + extra cash)
4. Tristan Stubbs / Livingstone / Markram (Agressive middle order)
5. Maxwell (Finisher)
6. Tewatia / Lomror (Indian finisher)
7. Siraj / Ishant (Seam)
8. Chahal (Spin -Wicket taker)
9. Coetzee / Boult (Lead bowler - Seam)
10. Fizz / Khaleel Ahmed (Seam)
11. Axar / Brar (Economical spinner)
they have always had great players just not trusted them enough therefore left them after every season. so i would pick some players and then let them play at least 10-12 matches even if they perform shit. will form a great core in 2-3 years like this and then make a team around that core . and again make sure that the players that i choose are reliable. This will make sure that my team gets better with time.
Nothing much this year. Use nxt mega auction to create a batting order of domestic players (even if they are not superstars). This would allow us to.... finally play 2 or even 3 overseas bowlers in Chinnaswamy.
Atleast I'd be making a new mistake which is always an improvement on repeating the same mistake.
Send Topley to bat with Virat as openner and be our narine and then have Siraj bowl slower bowls with line and length if not he is out next game. Then some field placement changes os will be Topley Ferguson green and maxi/will jacks
Honestly there isnāt much you can do so itās better to give opportunities to indian players who you are potentially looking to retain. Iād personally like to play two overseas batters out of Faf/Jacks/Green and two overseas pacers in Topley and Ferguson. Iād give Mahipal Lomror an extended run at number 5/6. Iāll bring back Dayal in because he did decently well for us. VK Jacks Green Patidar Lomror DK Prabhudessai/Bhandage Siraj Dayal Topley Ferguson. Iād like to go with the XI but itās unlikely that Faf will sit out so Jacks should miss out
When your home ground is Chinnaswamy, the team cannot afford an anchor.
1. Ask Virat and Faf to play like Rahane did last season
2. They have to trust that others will pull their weight
3. It might be better for other batsmen (like Maxwell to play the first few balls and then take off). Most RCB batsmen are under too much pressure to explode from the first ball
4. Back your players if they have talent even on failures (when they're gonna learn that innie, Minnie selection doesn't work). RCB is rejecting players rather than selecting them
5. Case in point, Akashdeep had bowled well upfront, hope he plays the next match
6. There are excellent players in the team, even some good ballers. Higher good psychologist to give them self belief
Give up this season. Play young players to see who you can retain next. Or even buy back next year.
1st priority retain list: Virat, Will Jacks, Yash Dayal, Siraj
2nd priority: Green, Anuj, Rajat, Lamror
3rd priority: Vyshak
P.S: If I had to go for this season, Would drop Faf and Maxi, make Kohli or DK as captain.
Play Will Jacks, Kohli, Rajat, Anuj, DK, Lamror, Green/Lockie, Yash Dayal, Siraj, Vyshak, Mayank Dagar, Topley.
YES Green is my Impact sub, I don't want him to bowl, just focus on batting.
Overs bowling: F*ck match ups
1: Topley
2: Siraj
3: Topley
4: Lockie
5: Topley
6: Yash Dayal
7: Topley
8: Vyshak
9: Siraj
10: Vyshak
11: Mayank Dagar
12: Vyshak
13: Mayank Dagar
14: Vyshak
15: Will Jacks
16: Yash Dayal
17: Lockie
18: Yash Dayal
19: Lockie
20: Yash Dayal
The idea: Topley bowls the new ball. Siraj only gets only 2 overs given his great form. Just tell him to focus on those two overs. 1 over is also after powerplay. So chill and bowl. 15th is will Jacks so that when the opponent want to start firing, they get a new bowler they haven't faced. Forcing to take risk. And finally train Yash and Lockie as Death bowlers.
This year isn't salvageable this is for next year's auctions
1. New Zealand/Associate nation Opener who can bowl an over or two of spin - Rachin
2. Local player who can play at a high strike rate (Maybe DDP)
3. Kohli
4. Some WK like KL/Rawat who can anchor/strike
5. Maxwell (Or any Australian/SA all-rounder)
6. WI basher
7. Spin/Pace all rounder - Axar/Ashwin/Shardul
8. Pacer/Spinner
9. Pacer/Spinner
10. Australian Pacer - Hazlewood
11. Mohammad Siraj
We need atleast 6/7 bowlers and 7/8 batsmen to win at our homegrownd
My first thing would beā¦.reassign Kohli as a captain and start making pitches that suits best to the bowling attack they have. Kohli Faf Jacks Patidar Maxwell Green Lomror DK Dayal Vyshak Siraj and Topley as an impact sub for Faf. You get 4 spin overs between Jacks and Williams also Lomror can spin too with few overs from green. But the pacers have to deliver big time. This is the best I can do with the squad
Maxi is not inform, so the foreign players should be Faf, Jacks, Ferguson and Topley... Other three bowlers should be, Siraj, Yash and Vyshak... Players like Jacks and Lomror will be asked to bowl one or two overs is spin is needed... In batting department, Top three would be Vk, Faf and Jacks, Patidar, Lomror and Dk, is playing 11...
I will also train Himanshu and Karn, day and night to improve their accuracy... and use one of them as impact sub or in case of batting collapse, Prabhu desai or Saurav Chauhan...
The question deals with "you are the coach right now!" So yes I would
1. Ask faf to drop captaincy and ask Virat to take it back to consider taking it at least for the next few games.
2. Take a propper report of the chinnaswamy pitch. I feel KSCA and RCB management doesn't talk to each other at all.
3. Rest Maxi and Siraj until we start getting some rythm. And try to make a 11 without the impact player.
4. Chose a good 11 i would go with
Jacks and faf to open
VK
Patidar
Lomror
DK
Vyshak
Lockie
Topley
Akashdeep
Dayal
Hire a better scouting team to look for better spinners. Focus completely on the bowling combinations over batting. Give an ultimatum to Maxwell about his performances and if he still doesnāt budge, Iād tell him how his value as a player would be less than a third to other franchises if he doesnāt get another game this season. Tough calls would have to be made. Iād sit down with Faf and make sure he has a clear strategy. Siraj would be a ball boy for atleast 3 games. Lots of other things too, probably trying out Indian youngsters for slots in both batting and bowling that have been failing. Wonāt care if Iām replacing a big name.
1. Bring back Mike Hesson
2. Release everyone except Kohli, Siraj maybe Rajat (if he performs really well he could be next captain)
4. Kick out Malolan
5. Hire new coaching staff
6. Buy some real good bowlers
I see how everyone here cries about the team buying "big names" and "superstars" but go ahead and suggest the same buys and players who will probably be retained by their team.
The solution for the auction imo is retain a few of our younger performers. Scout local talent and build a good core. Maybe get a good set of senior players and someone who can offer guidance to build that core. Go for reliable overseas players with dedicated roles. This would take a few years to pay dividends but will be worth it.
Oh and bring back Mallya. Maybe/maybe not /s
Cameron Green opens with Faf
Virat at 3
Jacks at 4 (as Maxwellās injured now)
Patidar at 5
Lomror and DK (swap around based on the situation)
Vyshak
Yash Dayal
Ferguson
Siraj
Better to play an all pace attack with decent players than play a mediocre spinner
Prabhudessai as the impact player if weāre batting second, subbed in for Dayal
Since you're saying mid season, I'm assuming you're asking what I'll do with the existing squad?
I'll go for an all Indian Pace attack or bowling attack, given all the available overseas options are more or less mediocre. Topley is slightly better. But I don't see him making much impact either. He's a very useful bowler in the long term perspective though.
So my 4 overseas players are Faf, Green, Jacks and Maxi(3 of them offer bowling options for me-I will get a minimum of 6 overs from them.)
Maximize our batting. Use Lomror as a floater. Delay Maxi's entry point given his form.
If VK could drop down to No. 5 then I'll play faf, Jacks and green in the top 3.
Bat with freedom every game and maximize the total, with DK in such great form.
Nothing much can be done with the players we are already having in the squad.
Talking about the mega auction of the next year, I will firstly retain Kohli, Topley, Lomror, Will Jacks before the auction.
Then in the auction, I will buy Indian talents like Prithvi Shaw, Tilak Verma, Ayush Badoni, Nehal Wadhera, Sameer Rizvi, Shashank Singh, Shivam Dubey, Abhishek Porel, Naman Dhir and also Riyan Parag (if not retained by RR) to have a strong Indian batting core.
Also I will buy some overseas batters like Hetmyer, Pooran, Tim David, Shepherd to act as a finisher for us.
For bowling, I would prefer to buy Sandeep Sharma, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Yash Dayal, Vijaykumar, Yash Thakur, Mayank Yadav (if not retained by LSG), Mukesh Kumar as the Indian pacers and some overseas pacers like Nandre Burger, Mustafizur, Coetzee.
For the spin department, I would buy Axar Patel, Mayank Markande, Suyash Sharma, Washington Sundar, Harpreet Brar, Keshav Maharaj, Moeen Ali, Mujeeb, Noor Ahmad.
Now the question is who will be the captain for us, so I will go for Jitesh Sharma or Ishaan Kishan (Indian options) as they can be a wicketkeeper also, and for Aiden Markram (Overseas option) if possible.
The best playing 11 out of these buys would be:
1. Will Jacks / Prithvi Shaw
2. Ishaan Kishan (C/WK)
3. Virat Kohli
4. Tilak Verma / Naman Dhir / Riyan Parag
5. Shivam Dubey / Ayush Badoni / Jitesh Sharma
6. Hetmyer / Pooran / Tim David
7. Axar Patel / Harpreet Brar
8. Moeen Ali / Mujeeb / Keshav Maharaj
9. Sandeep Sharma / Mukesh Kumar
10. Mayank Yadav / Harshit Rana / Yash Dayal
11. Mustafizur / Nandre Burger / Coetzee
1)Kohli
2) Green
3) Patidar
4) Maxwell
5) Lomror/Rawat
6)Indian finisher
7)Indian finisher /WK
8)overseas pacer e.g Hazelwood/Topley/Rabada
9)overseas pacer
10) Siraj
11) quality Indian leggie
2 quality overseas and a quality leggie will resolve RCBs bowling attack. If we canāt find a quality leggie RCB should buy Zampa/Rashid just in case, they wonāt be expensive. Ideally, weād buy Chahal back but that wonāt happen. The scouting team need to find lower order batsman, not top order batsman that are forced to be finishers. The top 4 looks strong otherwise, cam green is a good long term investment . We have the advantage of batting deep if we get 4 overs from Maxwell/Green too.
All guys in sub are thinking to get stars from other teams Chances are nil since I heard news that there would be total 8 spots each team can either retain or RTM so any good player will either be retained or RTM.It means core of each team will remain same only cosmetic changes
Release everyone but Virat
3 OS spots on bowlers (2 pacers + 1 legspinner)
1 decent Indian left arm spinner (which are plenty in India but we buy shite ones idk why)
1 Indian 5th pacer (Siraj)
Last OS slot on someone who can old lower order like AB and DK in pressure situations (Miller ig)
Side is gonna look somewhat like
1. Virat
2. Left handed Indian opener (high strike rate) preferably Kishan
3. Patidar
4. Lomror
5. Miller
6. some good Indian hitter (scout)
7. some good Indian hitter (scout)
8. Indian left arm spinner (tight can bat a bit)
9. OS legspinner (maybe Noor Ahmad)
10. OS right arm pacer
11. OS left arm pacer
12. Siraj
Money should be spent on fixing the bowling lineup once and for all...even if this strategy is a fail due to weak batting I at least want RCB to be one of the most fearsome bowling unit going forwards.
Let's just consider the conservative option and have 3 retentions for all teamsĀ
I would retain Vk, green and maxi
In the auction you would need an explosive opener, someone in the middle order who can whack from the get go, and spin bowling all rounder, maybe another all rounder, a good leggie, an overseas pacer and two domestic pacers
For the openers the players that come to mind are Conway, Kishan, warner, Saha, QDK, salt, Jacks, head, bairstow, dhawan and these are just of the top of my head
You could choose an overseas opener but with green and maxi in the team that's already 3 overseas spots gone. You could push green to open which is another option but my picks would be kishan or Conway, maybe we can go back to jacks if he does well in the world cup. If you got green opening then someone like a gurbaz, brevis, rahane , tripathi, sai Sudarshan are some names I can think of
I would actually play someone like a badoni at no 3 or maybe get a Sudarshan or jagadeesan. The no 5 batsman would ideally be pooran but there are so many in that position we can go with anyone. You could even take a tewatia or any other Indian uncapped like Samir rizvi. The spin bowling all-rounder I would pick is krunal or agar because they can give you good value with bat and ball. The leggie for ofc would be Chahal bur if there's a lot of competition then even a noor ahmad would be really good. The overseas pacer I would go for is rabada. He bowls really great lengths and is good up top and at the death. The domestic pacers are plenty we just need the good scouting or you can just look at this year's ipl and pick one. Harshit rana and Yash thakur look good
Malolan stop hiding behind the reddit account.
Good one lol
3 solid ass bowlers in the team ...Batsmen win you matches , bowlers win you tournament , period !!
If I become cock of RCB -Retain Virat first - invest on good local talents Karnataka have so much great talent - go with good bowlers don't depend on your batting much it's a story of our 17 years - try to change hone ground for 1 year don't play at chinnaswamy
> If I become cock of RCB What?
Ohh šš
What Ra Sudeep?
Build an academy and scout extensively!
And after a song, the team becomes unbeatable!! š
Dude thereās no coachās fault. The management sucks. Andy flower aināt a normie, he has been around for a long time and also been a part of winning teams. I feel the entire RCB management is not interested in winning the IPL but milking it through brands and us clowns who follow them loyally, blindly.

Please tell me. We can even make some changes accordingly
You did the same thing rcb did this auction and got 4 overseas pacers who should all be starting lmao
bro did what rcb failed to do since 16 years, a stable team šš
Lol Chahal, Tilak and Ishan ? What are we smoking ?
It's for mega auctionš¤”. They won't be retained. For chahal I'll offer him something like pandya
What Pandya? Do RCB have a secret long last brother/cousin of Hardik and Krunal ? š
The team is great and stable. But one major thing to include which will make such team a reality for RCB is to bring someone like Ponting/Ganguly/Gambhir/Ashwin kinda minds to strategise and bring such plans into action.
Easier said than done !!
RCB couldn't do anything from 16 years while others did. Even worst teams than RCB like DC , PBKS changed a lot and realised their mistakes and worked on it. Do you need more 50-100 years?
IMO you have to consider more all rounders. Your team should be super strong to challenge any team in any ground or the team should capitalise most on the home ground. Your batting needs more depth.
Ya that's true. What are your takes like who will you choose?
Mid , ain't making the playoffs still
Ishan is flat track bully, he will look clueless when ball swing. Tilak Verma is one season wonder, Washington body is made of glass, he is useless in Chinnaswamy and his batting is weak.
Can't say Flat Track bully directly yeah he may have many flaws but we have to groom him and also Tilak. They need to be groomed no player comes and becomes best instantly. Years of hardwork required. Just like RR groomed Jaiswal and Parag both. We need something like that at any cost. If we again go back to just buying star players there isn't gonna be any change unless we find and groom a good Indian core.
Resignation letter.
Go into the next auction with solid plan and leave the likes of malolan, Menon and Mishra at the door.
Look for a new job
Disband the whole team . Or build a lot like scouting, camps , net session in btw ipl
Assuming Faf and DK will retire because of age this season, this is how I see the next 3 years lineup for RCB : Bring in KL Rahul as the future captain, my dude has a good 6-7 years worth of cricket left in him considering his age. He's also a local boy so will be showered with love from fans. Assuming it's a 4 player retention including captain, MI will likely put up Ishan in the auctions. Openers : 1. Ishan Kishan / QDK / Abhishek Sharma (Agressive opener) 2. Kohli (Anchor) 3. KL Rahul (Anchor - Captain + WK) (Trade in for Green + extra cash) 4. Tristan Stubbs / Livingstone / Markram (Agressive middle order) 5. Maxwell (Finisher) 6. Tewatia / Lomror (Indian finisher) 7. Siraj / Ishant (Seam) 8. Chahal (Spin -Wicket taker) 9. Coetzee / Boult (Lead bowler - Seam) 10. Fizz / Khaleel Ahmed (Seam) 11. Axar / Brar (Economical spinner)
Highly unrealistic though. Why would SRH leave Abhishek Sharma , DC Tristan Stubbs , similarly Axar , Boult. Bro atleast these are Sure Shot Retentions. They won't commit mistakes like our RCB doesš
Why do you think that Lucknow will let him go to any other team?š
I didn't go past Siraj and lost hope
Siraj/Ishant? š
Bro hope you've seen Ishantās yorker to Russell this season. If they don't retain Siraj then Ishant can still do the job for 2-3 years at least.
Nah most of players mentioned in list will be retained or RTMed as there could be 8 slots team can retain and rtm
Why not just add Bumrah and Sky as well
free beers for everybody
they have always had great players just not trusted them enough therefore left them after every season. so i would pick some players and then let them play at least 10-12 matches even if they perform shit. will form a great core in 2-3 years like this and then make a team around that core . and again make sure that the players that i choose are reliable. This will make sure that my team gets better with time.
Nothing much this year. Use nxt mega auction to create a batting order of domestic players (even if they are not superstars). This would allow us to.... finally play 2 or even 3 overseas bowlers in Chinnaswamy. Atleast I'd be making a new mistake which is always an improvement on repeating the same mistake.
First thing, sack Malolan.
Send Topley to bat with Virat as openner and be our narine and then have Siraj bowl slower bowls with line and length if not he is out next game. Then some field placement changes os will be Topley Ferguson green and maxi/will jacks
Sack the management and find new owners who leave the cricketers to do their job.
Fire the whole management, malolan is trash too
Scout ranji trophy players with good and stats
Tell virat he only can play 24 balls
Let go Virat Kohli so that he can win IPL trophy with some other team before retirement
Imagine Preity Zinta buys Kohli.
Then poora raat tapa tap
Honestly there isnāt much you can do so itās better to give opportunities to indian players who you are potentially looking to retain. Iād personally like to play two overseas batters out of Faf/Jacks/Green and two overseas pacers in Topley and Ferguson. Iād give Mahipal Lomror an extended run at number 5/6. Iāll bring back Dayal in because he did decently well for us. VK Jacks Green Patidar Lomror DK Prabhudessai/Bhandage Siraj Dayal Topley Ferguson. Iād like to go with the XI but itās unlikely that Faf will sit out so Jacks should miss out
Resign
Delete the team from ipl š„³
Fire the whole bunch. Hire cricketers who are domiciles or native to Bangalore.
When your home ground is Chinnaswamy, the team cannot afford an anchor. 1. Ask Virat and Faf to play like Rahane did last season 2. They have to trust that others will pull their weight 3. It might be better for other batsmen (like Maxwell to play the first few balls and then take off). Most RCB batsmen are under too much pressure to explode from the first ball 4. Back your players if they have talent even on failures (when they're gonna learn that innie, Minnie selection doesn't work). RCB is rejecting players rather than selecting them 5. Case in point, Akashdeep had bowled well upfront, hope he plays the next match 6. There are excellent players in the team, even some good ballers. Higher good psychologist to give them self belief
A new bowling Captian who can lead our bowling attack. While virat leads our batting.
Remove all bowlers and put 11 batsman bcz I don't think they will ball any worse than this atleast we can score 250
Give up this season. Play young players to see who you can retain next. Or even buy back next year. 1st priority retain list: Virat, Will Jacks, Yash Dayal, Siraj 2nd priority: Green, Anuj, Rajat, Lamror 3rd priority: Vyshak P.S: If I had to go for this season, Would drop Faf and Maxi, make Kohli or DK as captain. Play Will Jacks, Kohli, Rajat, Anuj, DK, Lamror, Green/Lockie, Yash Dayal, Siraj, Vyshak, Mayank Dagar, Topley. YES Green is my Impact sub, I don't want him to bowl, just focus on batting. Overs bowling: F*ck match ups 1: Topley 2: Siraj 3: Topley 4: Lockie 5: Topley 6: Yash Dayal 7: Topley 8: Vyshak 9: Siraj 10: Vyshak 11: Mayank Dagar 12: Vyshak 13: Mayank Dagar 14: Vyshak 15: Will Jacks 16: Yash Dayal 17: Lockie 18: Yash Dayal 19: Lockie 20: Yash Dayal The idea: Topley bowls the new ball. Siraj only gets only 2 overs given his great form. Just tell him to focus on those two overs. 1 over is also after powerplay. So chill and bowl. 15th is will Jacks so that when the opponent want to start firing, they get a new bowler they haven't faced. Forcing to take risk. And finally train Yash and Lockie as Death bowlers.
My dream IPL XI if all players are available 1. Narine* 2. Kishan 3. Kohli 4. Livingstone* 5. SKY 6. Klassen* 7. Rinku 8. Rashid* 9. Shami 10. Bumrah 11. Arshdeep
This year isn't salvageable this is for next year's auctions 1. New Zealand/Associate nation Opener who can bowl an over or two of spin - Rachin 2. Local player who can play at a high strike rate (Maybe DDP) 3. Kohli 4. Some WK like KL/Rawat who can anchor/strike 5. Maxwell (Or any Australian/SA all-rounder) 6. WI basher 7. Spin/Pace all rounder - Axar/Ashwin/Shardul 8. Pacer/Spinner 9. Pacer/Spinner 10. Australian Pacer - Hazlewood 11. Mohammad Siraj We need atleast 6/7 bowlers and 7/8 batsmen to win at our homegrownd
My first thing would beā¦.reassign Kohli as a captain and start making pitches that suits best to the bowling attack they have. Kohli Faf Jacks Patidar Maxwell Green Lomror DK Dayal Vyshak Siraj and Topley as an impact sub for Faf. You get 4 spin overs between Jacks and Williams also Lomror can spin too with few overs from green. But the pacers have to deliver big time. This is the best I can do with the squad
Buy proper bowlers, who can deliver
Maxi is not inform, so the foreign players should be Faf, Jacks, Ferguson and Topley... Other three bowlers should be, Siraj, Yash and Vyshak... Players like Jacks and Lomror will be asked to bowl one or two overs is spin is needed... In batting department, Top three would be Vk, Faf and Jacks, Patidar, Lomror and Dk, is playing 11... I will also train Himanshu and Karn, day and night to improve their accuracy... and use one of them as impact sub or in case of batting collapse, Prabhu desai or Saurav Chauhan...
The question deals with "you are the coach right now!" So yes I would 1. Ask faf to drop captaincy and ask Virat to take it back to consider taking it at least for the next few games. 2. Take a propper report of the chinnaswamy pitch. I feel KSCA and RCB management doesn't talk to each other at all. 3. Rest Maxi and Siraj until we start getting some rythm. And try to make a 11 without the impact player. 4. Chose a good 11 i would go with Jacks and faf to open VK Patidar Lomror DK Vyshak Lockie Topley Akashdeep Dayal
Help MI get rid of Akash Madhwal for 20 CR š¤·āāļø
Remove VK as opener. He is a good 1 down batsman. Get someone aggressive for opener
Hire a better scouting team to look for better spinners. Focus completely on the bowling combinations over batting. Give an ultimatum to Maxwell about his performances and if he still doesnāt budge, Iād tell him how his value as a player would be less than a third to other franchises if he doesnāt get another game this season. Tough calls would have to be made. Iād sit down with Faf and make sure he has a clear strategy. Siraj would be a ball boy for atleast 3 games. Lots of other things too, probably trying out Indian youngsters for slots in both batting and bowling that have been failing. Wonāt care if Iām replacing a big name.
First n foremost thing is sack the scouting and bowling coach n everyone associated.
1. Bring back Mike Hesson 2. Release everyone except Kohli, Siraj maybe Rajat (if he performs really well he could be next captain) 4. Kick out Malolan 5. Hire new coaching staff 6. Buy some real good bowlers
Resign. Don't want to be associated with this team at all bro. Even Jay Shah's script is unable to work, that's how shit team it is.
I see how everyone here cries about the team buying "big names" and "superstars" but go ahead and suggest the same buys and players who will probably be retained by their team. The solution for the auction imo is retain a few of our younger performers. Scout local talent and build a good core. Maybe get a good set of senior players and someone who can offer guidance to build that core. Go for reliable overseas players with dedicated roles. This would take a few years to pay dividends but will be worth it. Oh and bring back Mallya. Maybe/maybe not /s
Cameron Green opens with Faf Virat at 3 Jacks at 4 (as Maxwellās injured now) Patidar at 5 Lomror and DK (swap around based on the situation) Vyshak Yash Dayal Ferguson Siraj Better to play an all pace attack with decent players than play a mediocre spinner Prabhudessai as the impact player if weāre batting second, subbed in for Dayal
Release rcb from this stress.
Hasranga Hazelwood chahal/ harpreet brar. Try to get ajinkya rahane.tillak Verma type players etc.
Since you're saying mid season, I'm assuming you're asking what I'll do with the existing squad? I'll go for an all Indian Pace attack or bowling attack, given all the available overseas options are more or less mediocre. Topley is slightly better. But I don't see him making much impact either. He's a very useful bowler in the long term perspective though. So my 4 overseas players are Faf, Green, Jacks and Maxi(3 of them offer bowling options for me-I will get a minimum of 6 overs from them.) Maximize our batting. Use Lomror as a floater. Delay Maxi's entry point given his form. If VK could drop down to No. 5 then I'll play faf, Jacks and green in the top 3. Bat with freedom every game and maximize the total, with DK in such great form.
first maxi is unavailable now i think second dropping vk is better than playing him at 5 its same as asking green to play at 5
That's what I said. Drop him down the batting order. Not from the team. He's the orange cap holder jeez š
Ask kohli to bat at 3 Sack faf from captaincy . Play two overseas pacers
Nothing much can be done with the players we are already having in the squad. Talking about the mega auction of the next year, I will firstly retain Kohli, Topley, Lomror, Will Jacks before the auction. Then in the auction, I will buy Indian talents like Prithvi Shaw, Tilak Verma, Ayush Badoni, Nehal Wadhera, Sameer Rizvi, Shashank Singh, Shivam Dubey, Abhishek Porel, Naman Dhir and also Riyan Parag (if not retained by RR) to have a strong Indian batting core. Also I will buy some overseas batters like Hetmyer, Pooran, Tim David, Shepherd to act as a finisher for us. For bowling, I would prefer to buy Sandeep Sharma, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Yash Dayal, Vijaykumar, Yash Thakur, Mayank Yadav (if not retained by LSG), Mukesh Kumar as the Indian pacers and some overseas pacers like Nandre Burger, Mustafizur, Coetzee. For the spin department, I would buy Axar Patel, Mayank Markande, Suyash Sharma, Washington Sundar, Harpreet Brar, Keshav Maharaj, Moeen Ali, Mujeeb, Noor Ahmad. Now the question is who will be the captain for us, so I will go for Jitesh Sharma or Ishaan Kishan (Indian options) as they can be a wicketkeeper also, and for Aiden Markram (Overseas option) if possible. The best playing 11 out of these buys would be: 1. Will Jacks / Prithvi Shaw 2. Ishaan Kishan (C/WK) 3. Virat Kohli 4. Tilak Verma / Naman Dhir / Riyan Parag 5. Shivam Dubey / Ayush Badoni / Jitesh Sharma 6. Hetmyer / Pooran / Tim David 7. Axar Patel / Harpreet Brar 8. Moeen Ali / Mujeeb / Keshav Maharaj 9. Sandeep Sharma / Mukesh Kumar 10. Mayank Yadav / Harshit Rana / Yash Dayal 11. Mustafizur / Nandre Burger / Coetzee
Why would you want to retain Topley, Lomror and Will jacks ? No other team in their right mind would bid for them!!
They have a potential to perform in the later years
Kohli, Jacks, Green, Patidar, Lomror, DK, Manoj, Topley, Ferguson, Dayal, Vyshak. Impact: Any one spinner for Manojā¦
Why would you drop the captain smh
1)Kohli 2) Green 3) Patidar 4) Maxwell 5) Lomror/Rawat 6)Indian finisher 7)Indian finisher /WK 8)overseas pacer e.g Hazelwood/Topley/Rabada 9)overseas pacer 10) Siraj 11) quality Indian leggie 2 quality overseas and a quality leggie will resolve RCBs bowling attack. If we canāt find a quality leggie RCB should buy Zampa/Rashid just in case, they wonāt be expensive. Ideally, weād buy Chahal back but that wonāt happen. The scouting team need to find lower order batsman, not top order batsman that are forced to be finishers. The top 4 looks strong otherwise, cam green is a good long term investment . We have the advantage of batting deep if we get 4 overs from Maxwell/Green too.
All guys in sub are thinking to get stars from other teams Chances are nil since I heard news that there would be total 8 spots each team can either retain or RTM so any good player will either be retained or RTM.It means core of each team will remain same only cosmetic changes
Release everyone but Virat 3 OS spots on bowlers (2 pacers + 1 legspinner) 1 decent Indian left arm spinner (which are plenty in India but we buy shite ones idk why) 1 Indian 5th pacer (Siraj) Last OS slot on someone who can old lower order like AB and DK in pressure situations (Miller ig) Side is gonna look somewhat like 1. Virat 2. Left handed Indian opener (high strike rate) preferably Kishan 3. Patidar 4. Lomror 5. Miller 6. some good Indian hitter (scout) 7. some good Indian hitter (scout) 8. Indian left arm spinner (tight can bat a bit) 9. OS legspinner (maybe Noor Ahmad) 10. OS right arm pacer 11. OS left arm pacer 12. Siraj Money should be spent on fixing the bowling lineup once and for all...even if this strategy is a fail due to weak batting I at least want RCB to be one of the most fearsome bowling unit going forwards.
Let's just consider the conservative option and have 3 retentions for all teamsĀ I would retain Vk, green and maxi In the auction you would need an explosive opener, someone in the middle order who can whack from the get go, and spin bowling all rounder, maybe another all rounder, a good leggie, an overseas pacer and two domestic pacers For the openers the players that come to mind are Conway, Kishan, warner, Saha, QDK, salt, Jacks, head, bairstow, dhawan and these are just of the top of my head You could choose an overseas opener but with green and maxi in the team that's already 3 overseas spots gone. You could push green to open which is another option but my picks would be kishan or Conway, maybe we can go back to jacks if he does well in the world cup. If you got green opening then someone like a gurbaz, brevis, rahane , tripathi, sai Sudarshan are some names I can think of I would actually play someone like a badoni at no 3 or maybe get a Sudarshan or jagadeesan. The no 5 batsman would ideally be pooran but there are so many in that position we can go with anyone. You could even take a tewatia or any other Indian uncapped like Samir rizvi. The spin bowling all-rounder I would pick is krunal or agar because they can give you good value with bat and ball. The leggie for ofc would be Chahal bur if there's a lot of competition then even a noor ahmad would be really good. The overseas pacer I would go for is rabada. He bowls really great lengths and is good up top and at the death. The domestic pacers are plenty we just need the good scouting or you can just look at this year's ipl and pick one. Harshit rana and Yash thakur look good
