RCB’s Heavyweights or Deadweights? The 2026 Dilemma

Is RCB’s squad built for glory or a recipe for disaster?

CricPlay1 min read

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are in a pickle, and it’s not just the usual heartbreak. With the 2026 IPL season looming, two of their 2025 match-winners might be turning into burdens instead of blessings. Injuries and form dips are the name of the game, and RCB fans are holding their breath.

Venkatesh Iyer, once a star, now seems to be struggling to find his groove. After a stellar season last year, the pressure is on him to deliver again. But can he shake off this bad patch, or will he be the one dragging the team down? Meanwhile, Mangesh Yadav, another pick that had the fans buzzing, is also under scrutiny. RCB's decision to invest in youth has its risks, and right now, it looks like they might be gambling on players who need to step up.

Led by Rajat Patidar, RCB has some raw talent, but the question remains—can they gel and avoid the typical RCB heartbreak? With the squad reshuffle, fans are hoping for a miracle, but can this new lineup deliver?
