The Pakistan Super League (PSL) would have done with India's support. The Indian Premier League (IPL) doesn't necessarily need Pakistan.

RCB’s squad is not the best in IPL 2019, but is it so bad that they are struggling to even open their account?

Rajasthan Royals skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and elected to bowl against Royal Challengers Bangalore in an IPL match at Swai Mansingh stadium.

Before the start of the tournament, the majority of the fans and pundits picked the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle and other destructive top-order batsmen as favourites to win the ‘Orange Cap’, but Andre Russell has surprised one and all with his hitting and more importantly consistency in the first week of IPL 2019

“The jawans are the pride of our nation. They are the sentinels of our liberty. The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) in collaboration with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Bharathi Cements have taken the initiative to invite 60 jawans to witness each of the seven IPL 2019 matches being played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium," the KSCA said

Ahead of their IPL 2019 clash against Mumbai Indians (MI), the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been boosted by the presence of "Jasprit Bumrah", who was seen bowling at the home batsmen at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday

One of the main ingredients for doing well in a tournament like the World Cup is to have the right squad balance and the think tank will have its task cut out to come up with the best team combination, especially in the wake of the home series defeat to world champions Australia

According to RCB captain Virat Kohli, the huge fan base the team has got is the biggest achievement and that has kept the team going for 10 years. 

Though captain Virat Kohli confirmed that there is only one slot pending to be filled for the World Cup starting in England on May 30, Sourav Ganguly felt a reliable batsman in the mould of Rahul Dravid should get the nod for No 4 spot in ODIs

Overall, Rohit Sharma is the ninth Indian batsman in the elite 8,000-run club in ODIs, after Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Azharuddin

"We are sorted combination-wise. We know our playing 11 going into the World Cup. There will be just one change based on condition. When Hardik Pandya will come back, he gives depth in batting and opens up options in bowling. We know where we are going. We are clear about our playing 11," Virat Kohli said after losing the ODI series to Australia

Australia, who were trailing 0-2 initially, made a remarkable comeback in Delhi to grab their first ODI series win in India since 2009. It is only the fifth instance that a team has won a series after being down 0-2. Usman Khawaja won the Man-of-the-match and Man-of-the-series awards
