Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) reached the playoffs under Far du Plessis in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. Fans will now hope the franchise can go the distance and land a maiden crown. Ahead of the IPL 2023 season, RCB saw Will Jacks get ruled out, and they replaced him with Doug Bracewell of New Zealand, who adds sheer quality as an all-rounder. Apart from that, RCB look settled as a side with the shape and familiarity of last season. One can easily pick the best possible playing XI, which has the familiarities of 2022. RCB must take their chances and show more consistency on an all-round basis across departments in the IPL 2023 season. RCB have a long list of uncapped players on the bench.

Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik are the key customers with their aggressive and unorthodox style. Wanindu Hasaranga and Harshal Patel lead the show in the bowling department. Ahead of the IPL 2023 season, we decode the probable playing XI of RCB.
