Anuj picks up form at the right time

Notably, Anuj Rawat's stint with RCB in the previous IPL season didn't quite hit the mark, as he managed to score only 91 runs in nine matches, with his top score being an unbeaten 29. Given Dinesh Karthik's recent slump in form, RCB will be heavily reliant on Rawat to maintain his current form and solidify his position as the team's wicketkeeper-batsman for the upcoming IPL 2024 season.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore are set to begin their journey in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League with a match against Chennai Super Kings on March 22, which will take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
