Shadab strongformer Spinner who represented both Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengalur (RCB) in Indian Premier League (IPL)They recently shared their thoughts on why RCB struggled to win the desired IPL trophy.
Strong, who started his IPL career with CSK, moved to RCB 2014, but had a limited race, playing only one match in his first season with the franchise. RCB, one of the original IPL teams, is one of the three franchises that have yet to ask for the title since the league began in 2008.
Strongly referred to his experiences and established factors that he believed to have prevented RCB from celebrating the championship.
Shadab Strong reveals why RCB struggled to win the IPL title
He emphasized this success in IPL depends on collective efforts, not an individual glow. Pulling out of his time in CSK, they pointed out their balanced squad, which had a solid Indian core and effective foreign players. On the contrary, he noticed that RCB often leaned too much on several key individuals.
“It’s a team game. If you want to win trophies, the team has to play like a unit. Two or three players can’t help you win a trophy. Chennai had a strong group of Indian players and some decent foreign players. It is important to get its combination right. If I were in RCB, I would only focus on two or three players” He said it was a strong sports scale.
Team management and the atmosphere decay
The former Spinner also pointed out significant differences in the dynamics of the team between the two franchises. As he confessed to the talent within the RCB list, he felt that the lack of unity had retained them.
“There were a huge difference as far as the atmosphere of the team and atmosphere of the locker room was concerned. The players were very good, but there were no friends; the players did not gel properly. He added to stronger.

Insights into the constant challenge of RCB
Jakati’s comments offer a rare view of the internal work of the RCB, a team that reached the IPL (2009, 2011 and 2016) finals three times, but one has yet to secure the title. Despite the fact that over the years he boasts to some of the biggest names of the league, the inability of the franchise to encourage teamwork and the supporting environment can explain his lasting struggles. As RCB looks forward to future seasons, Jakati’s analysis suggests that solving these problems outside the field may be as crucial as performance on the ground in the end of its trophy drought.
