Virat Kohli's ipl 2021 team Royal Challengers Bangalore is in top form this season. RCB have so far been the only team to win all their matches. So far, RCB have won all their 4 matches played and are currently leading the IPL points table ahead of CSK with 8 points. Virat Kohli has a real strong batting line-up in RCB but it was his bowling department that needed a bit of a close look. Former cricketer Kevin Pietersen recently addressed the same in an interview.

Speaking exclusively on Star Sports’ pre-show Cricket Live, former England batsman Kevin Pietersen analyses Royal Challengers Bangalore’s team set-up this season as compared to the previous year, “I think I'm going to talk about this point again, just purely on the basis that I think it makes such a big difference to RCB, the bowling department. Virat Kohli has been desperately searching for combinations in his bowlers – to try and make sure that they start the innings with the impact, like they're able to do with the bat. Kohli, De Villiers, they've now got Glenn Maxwell, Devdutt Padikkal, they've got all that. So, the batting department is absolutely fine. It is the bowling department that they have struggled with. Dale Steyn, like I said earlier, Mitchell Starc, was someone who was almost there, almost came. They've got through that many bowlers. It looks like they've been comfortable with Kyle Jamieson and Mohammed Siraj. Yuzvendra Chahal is not the kind of guy that has to come on in the third and fourth over and then drag it back and get all the wickets. As good as he is, that's a hell of a lot of pressure for somebody to do every single season. So, I just think that bowling department is something that Virat now feels comfortable about. And when you've got guys like Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson and Daniel Sams all still waiting to play, he knows that he's got back-up.”
