I am the most fanatic RCB fan because...

I'm a Bangalorean and I have faith in MY TEAM. I like the team composition. It's a nice blend of youth and experience which helps the team in every situation. A few of my most favorite players are in this very team which is like icing on cake. I've followed every match that RCB has played. I'm indeed THE MOST fanatic RCB fan!! !!..Jeetenge hum Shaanse..!!

Strategy Map for RCB - Airtel Champions League

My preferred line up :

Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Ross Taylor, Mark Boucher, Jacques Kallis, Roelof van der Merwe, Dale Steyn, Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Virat Kohli

why do I prefer this line up :

This is the team which has enough spin options and there are good medium pacers as well. A few big hitters who can change the course of a match can take care of the run-rate while the other experienced batters can hold the team together and can bat till the end. It's overall a well-balanced team with a good wicket-keeper in Mark Boucher. Fellow South Africans Van der Merwe and Jacq Kallis fill in the slot of all-rounders, who hold the key in this format of the game. I like the confidence of the young man Ross Taylor. He has proved it in the past and I believe he has the potential to be a match winner. With experience behind, Anil Kumble will make sure that his team gels well. This according to me is the best possible line-up.

My opening match strategy:

I'm a bat second captain. It's easy to chase b'coz we would know how the pitch would behave though it's a familiar pitch for the Bangalore boys. I believe that a team under pressure performs the best. Moreover we have good seam bowlers like Dale Steyn and Praveen Kumar who are basically wicket takers. Anil Kumble and van der Merwe can run through the opposition on their day. While chasing, I would open with Mark Boucher and Manish Pandey. Rahul Dravid to come one down. With Ross Taylor, Jacq Kallis, Robin uthappa and the others to follow our batting looks really strong. The Bangalore air and the atmosphere in the stadium will add to the spirits of TEAM RCB. They will for sure fall no short of encouragement. GO RCB..!!!!

My best T20 match:

Venue:

Johannesburg, South Africa

Date:

24th september 2007

India created history when they won the inaugural t20 championship at Jo'burg. They were known as the Twenty20 World Champions. That was such a proud moment for every Indian. I cherish every moment of that Finals - India vs Pakistan. This is probably the best t20 match I've ever watched. I still remember bursting crackers after that thrilling contest. It was a well deserved victory for the Indians.
