While sharing his views regarding playoffs, Irfan Pathan has opined that the other teams will not be taking RCB lightly RCB as they will be coming on the back of an emphatic win against GT.

During a chat on Stars Sports, Irfan Pathan said, “RCB are playing Eliminator for the third consecutive time in the TATA IPL. But the rest of the teams will be scared of them now.

He further added, “He seems to have found his mojo back. His match-winning half-century (in their final league game vs Gujarat Titans) will bode well for the team while the rest of the batters are also chipping in with valuable contributions. No side can take a team like RCB for granted now. All three teams above them will be wary of RCB.”

RCB are aiming for their maiden title win in IPL 2022 and they have a chance of doing so this time around.
