Chopra made this observation while previewing the Bangalore-based franchise’s IPL 2020 clash against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in a video shared on his YouTube channel.
Aakash Chopra spoke about some of the changes RCB could make in their playing XI.
He felt that RCB could add more depth to their bowling attack, considering that it is their weak link.
The former KKR player highlighted that Navdeep Saini is the only RCB bowler who can hold his own in the death overs, with Chris Morris indisposed at the moment.
From Kings XI Punjab’s perspective, Aakash Chopra wanted the franchise to go for a wicket-taking option to get the better of the strong top-order that RCB possesses.

He also hoped that Chris Jordan is able to get his radar right after being smacked all over the park by the Delhi Capitals.
Aakash Chopra on the player battle to watch out for in the RCB vs KXIP clash
Aakash Chopra picked the contest between Navdeep Saini and Glenn Maxwell as the player battle to watch out for in the RCB-KXIP clash, pointing out that the maverick Australian will be keen to do well after a poor first outing.
The renowned commentator opined that Glenn Maxwell should be confronted with Navdeep Saini as soon as the former walks into the middle.
He added that RCB could resort to the leg-spin of Yuzvendra Chahal as the second weapon against Maxwell.
The 43-year old picked the contest between Mohammed Shami and Virat Kohli as another interesting battle.
Aakash Chopra signed off by picking RCB as the likely winners in tonight’s clash against KXIP.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore would be hoping to put it across Kings XI Punjab and become the first team to register two victories in IPL 2020. If they manage to do so, it will be in sharp contrast to their start in last season’s IPL where they had lost their first six matches.
