RCB Have Built a Strong Bowling Core

"You can lose the WPL in the auction, but you can't win it," said Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) head coach Malolan Rangarajan, reflecting on the challenges of roster building ahead of the Women's Premier League season.

Rangarajan expressed satisfaction with RCB’s selections, emphasizing that the team has assembled the strongest possible bowling group within the auction’s constraints. He stressed the importance of balance across pace and spin options, noting that the management focused on creating a versatile attack capable of adapting to different match situations.

Balancing Strategy and Skill

The coach highlighted that their recruitment strategy was designed around flexibility and match-readiness rather than chasing big names. Each bowler, according to Rangarajan, was chosen for specific strengths that fit the team’s overall tactical framework, and he praised the staff’s extensive scouting process that backed every signing with data-driven analysis.

Building Confidence for the Season Ahead

Rangarajan believes this balanced bowling lineup gives RCB a competitive edge, especially in high-pressure scenarios. He added that while winning titles depends on on-field execution, having such depth in bowling will give them consistency and confidence going into the league.

"We’ve covered every possible base we could have," he concluded, reinforcing his belief that RCB’s current bowling unit stands among the best available combinations in the WPL.
