RCB vs PBKS Live: These experienced players in RCB’s bowling attack

RCB vs PBKS Live: Punjab’s spin attack can become a problem
It is not easy for any batsman to face Chahal, who returned to form by taking four wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders, while Maxwell is sure to get a place in the playing XI despite poor performance in batting. Chahal is a master of length rather than magical balls. This leg-spinner tempts batsmen to play long shots by bowling outside the off-stump so that they give catches close to the boundary line. He also changes his speed very cleverly and batsmen need to make extra efforts if they want to hit sixes against him. Maxwell is also one such spinner who relies on control rather than big turn or dippers.

RCB vs PBKS Live: Be careful of Chahal and Maxwell

RCB batsmen had to struggle against Gujarat Titans’ R Sai Kishore and Delhi Capitals’ Kuldeep Yadav and Viparaj Nigam on the slow pitch of Bangalore. Now Yuzvendra Chahal and Glenn Maxwell will try to take full advantage of this weakness of theirs. Not only this, Chahal and Maxwell have been playing for RCB for a long time and are well aware of the conditions here.
