Most Wickets Against RCB
Although Royal Challengers Bangalore have built up some fearsome batting units over the years, the nature of T20 cricket is such that even the biggest batting behemoths are susceptible to good bowling. Royal Challengers Bangalore are the team that has posted the highest ever total in the IPL, but also happen to be the team with the lowest total too! Most bowlers would like to keep well clear of Gayle, Kohli, de Villiers, and co. but some bowlers seem to relish the opportunity to play them every time.
Bowlers with Most Wickets Against RCB
Here’s a list of 5 Players with Highest Wickets against RCB in IPL to give you a clear idea of which bowlers seem to love playing against RCB:
#5 Piyush Chawla (19)
The crafty leg-spinner has carved out a largely successful IPL career for himself and counts Kohli’s men among his favourite opponents. The newly-acquired Chennai Super Kings recruit has faced off against Royal Challengers Bangalore 21 times during his time with Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders and has 19 scalps to show for it. As the most expensive Indian buy in this year’s player auction, the pressure will be on Piyush Chawla to move up this list of 5 players with most wickets against RCB in IPL matches, and he will be relying on his vast experience to do so!

The second straight Chennai Super Kings spinner to feature on this list of the 5 players with most wickets against RCB in IPL, Jadeja has faced Bangalore with three other sides besides the Super Kings. Combining his appearances against RCB for Gujarat Lions, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, and Rajasthan Royals (where he started his IPL career) Ravindra Jadeja has picked up 20 wickets in the same number of innings against RCB.

#3 Sandeep Sharma (21)
A prodigious swinger of the new ball and an extremely accurate bowler at the death, Sandeep Sharma has been a regular feature of any side he has played for since debuting in the IPL in 2013. Having started off at Kings XI Punjab, where his bowling exploits saw him feature in national team colours, Sharma switched over to Sunrisers Hyderabad but continued his love affair with the Bangalore batting lineup. 21 wickets in just 12 games put him third on this list of 5 players with most number of wickets against RCB in IPL matches.

#2 Harbhajan Singh (23)
The third and final Chennai Super Kings spinner to have made it to this list of the 5 players with most wickets against RCB in IPL matches, Harbhajan Singh had a highly successful time with Mumbai Indians before switching over to the yellow of CSK. No matter which team he faced Bangalore with, however, he enjoyed a fine run against the men from Bangalore, taking 23 wickets in 22 games. More importantly, he emerged as a fine death option for Dhoni to call upon, and also featured with the new ball on occasion. He’s still going strong on the domestic circuit and will be looking to make yet another impact when the 2020 season of the IPL kicks off!

#1 Ashish Nehra (23)
This might be an unexpected name atop the leaderboard for 5 players with most wickets against RCB in IPL matches, and it’s none other than Ashish Nehra! In fact, what makes it even more interesting is the fact that Nehra has featured for RCB in the past as well! However, we’re concerned about the other teams Nehra has played for – Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians, Pune Warriors, and Sunrisers Hyderabad, for whom he has picked up a combined total of 23 wickets while playing a mere 13 matches!
