Most Fours Against RCB

As a format, T20 allows batsmen a variety of scoring opportunities, whether it’s well-taken runs, crisply-struck fours, or massive hits for six. Although the crowds go wild every time the ball is hit over the fence, there is a sense of artistry and technique that is associated with hitting a four that is arguably somewhat underappreciated in today’s world of power-hitting. This favoritism towards sixes is quite apparent in the IPL as well, but there are still some players who seem to prefer to hit fours as their go-to scoring shot.

Over the years, these batsmen have shown their class against a variety of bowlers, and Royal Challengers Bangalore has come up against them time and time again too. On that note, here’s a list of the batsmen who have hit the most fours against RCB in IPL matches:

As one of the all-time leading run-scorers in the IPL (he sits second on the list behind RCB skipper Virat Kohli) Suresh Raina was bound to feature on this list of batsmen who have hit the most fours against RCB in IPL matches. The stylish southpaw’s cover drives, both lofted and along the ground, are a true joy to behold. Unfortunately, RCB bowlers have had to behold that sort of joy no less than 60 times in 27 innings.

One of the most elegant right-handers to watch while batting, Ajinkya Rahane seems to really enjoy playing against Royal Challengers Bangalore whenever he comes up against them in the IPL. In 18 innings where he has faced them while playing for Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, and Rising Pune Supergiants, Rahane has scored 579 runs at an average of 36.18 with a best of 103*. Those 579 runs include no less than 67 fours, a tally Rahane will no doubt be looking to improve upon in the coming season when he takes on Kohli’s men as part of an exciting Delhi Capitals setup!

That mountain of runs is supported by no less than 78 fours and 12 sixes, showing just how much Gambhir loved facing off against RCB with bat in hand.
