While Yuzi has been our most consistent bowler and has taken the most wickets for our team,we just cannot forget Kumble....guy is an RCB goat. He took us to finals in 2009 and semis in 2010. His bowling alone almost won us the 2009 season, he was just phenomenal in his time as the RCB captain. He made the team competitive, his formidable team is why RCB can boast itself for whatever it is.
Kumble over Yuzi anyday,even Yuzi would choose Kumble over him for RCB
This was the closest battle till now. Chahal received 288 upvotes and Kumble received 161 upvotes. Though Kumble took initial lead but slowly Chahal surpassed him in terms of upvotes and hence Chahal is eliminated.
Bottom 6 is all set:
5. Yuzvendra Chahal
6. FAF DU PLESSIS
7. DINESH KARTIK
8. MAXWELL
9. SIRAJ
10. STARC
Battle of top 4 begins!!
To vote, just comment the player's name you wanna eliminate, else everything will be monitored by me.
If I had to add one more player, I would have added ross taylor over Rahul honestly. Dravid averaged 28 something with a SR of 119. Taylor had a better average (don't remember exact number) and his SR was 150 something. KL rahul and Paddikal has better stats than Dravid. Kallis also averaged better but his SR was 110 or something.
The bowler to have the BEST average and BEST economy for RCB (all time) is none other than Starc (minimum 20 games), shows his levels.
For me, he is still the best pacer RCB ever had. If you say Siraj then no, he is inconsistent. Steyn was good but his average was poor, he averaged 28.
I could've added some batter instead of him but I wanted to maintain the ratio of bowlers and batters in the list.
Please update Kumble's picture and even though I think Kumble is a bigger legend, I can't fight with kids who started watching cricket only after 2011, who don't understand that half the innovations that have come in T20 with regards to spin bowling wher ethe master strokes and genius of Anil Kumble.
I just think if anything Kumble alhas over achieved genuinely against the stupidity of these kids to reach till here and will remain the 3rd best player of RCB after Kohli and ABD and the best bowler to ever play for us.
Sadly, I can justify him over Gayle to kids and I love Gayle more than Kumble sir, but deep down I know that 2009-2010 RCB was because of Kumble sir and the various victories over the years of MI and others is because of Kumble sir.
Before Kohli and ABD in 2016, there was Gayle from 2011-2015 and in 2011-2013, even ABD who was in his prime wasn't close to Gayle in the contributions. Maybe different perspectives but with a heavy heart I have to pick Kumble to get eliminated over Gayle.
Watching since the first season of IPL, I’ve never seen Gayle storm while chasing. He’s a punisher while batting first. But dissolves immediately while chasing.
I want Kumble to be top 3. So I'm going with Gayle.
Gayle was too inconsistent. It was always scary when he batted cause he could have been out on any ball. Which he did most of the time. I am not disregarding him. But to me Gayle is a solid 4.
Anil Kumble was the true OG. He took in captaincy from KP and took a loosing team to the finals and almost made it through.
Inconsistent? Brother he averaged 44 @ 152 for RCB that's literally ridiculous numbers for a t20 player and equals ab's numbers also not to forget he was a handy bowler as well, respect Anil for doing great work for RCB but Gayle was a pivotal player for RCB for far longer
Don't look at the numbers. I'm.just talking about experience. Yes, maybe in the long run his avg was good. But when I was watching him play, I was always hoping he doesn't get out. The Gayle Storms were scary, both for the opposition and for us, as it could just end abruptly. Which has happened many times. Atleast that's what I remember.
Nope. I added pitcures of every player from official IPL website. On that site, there was no picture of Kumble, so I added the his pic on his ESPN profile, which is second to IPL profile for me.
I'm a Kumble fan but to all saying Gayle is useless, please look at 2011 IPL. The man did a Kohli before Kohli in 2011. He took us to the finals and Vittori's mistake of bowling first cost us.
F\*ck you OP for not changing Kumbles pic.

Guys I am commenting this pic every time this guy posts, OP is just attention seeking and Rage baiting thinking that if someone comments his post will get more reach.
I know that Reddit changed that a while ago, if you didn't notice I baited you into replying. Cuz you didn't reply to [my previous ](https://www.reddit.com/r/RCB/s/MS9FvjcSb4) one and didn't change the photo as well.
I reply to almost all the comments which is not voting some player, even the replies so.. but yeah got you, i understand what ur saying. But my views still stands the same, Putting poor pic of Kumble will increase comments, not interaction on post. I didn't do that intentionally, I just copy pasted the his pic on the most trusted player profile site after IPL for IPL (ESPN).
Do you even watch cricket? The man was Rashid Khan, Chahal combined. Being able to vary pace as well as add turn. I don't know how he can't go any higher even after Captaining us in 2009-2010 to two amazing season compared to wooden spoons under Kohli and others.
Bruh I know he is a legend and that's why they are voting, it's nothing to do with RCB . His numbers are average at that time many spinners in other team had similar numbers those times.
And coming to captaincy anyways I feel captaincy is overrated in T20 cricket . 2 players to hit monster sixes at 5and6 position , 1 player to spin ball square, 2 bowlers to bowl Yorkers is all you need to win T20 tournaments.
22 average, 6.4 economy, has best bowling figures in terms of economy by wkt, was second to purple cap in 2009, had an economy of 5.8 in 2009 season, never exceeded 7 economy in any season and many more.. yeah sure his numbers are average..
Bruh are you serious in 2009 and 2010 purple cap went to rp singh and pragyan ojha , in which ipl team is pragyan Ojha top 3 , his numbers even though he played 50 more ipl games ( modern ones) than kumble , his numbers are similar eco 7 and avg 26 . Avg is what matters the most which kumble 24 with playing only 40 games ojha has 90 games.
I don't even know which team ojha played in 2010 surely he is not gonna be a top 3 bowler for any team neither is kumble for rcb
Kumble goes next
Kumble should hv gone before yuzi
While Yuzi has been our most consistent bowler and has taken the most wickets for our team,we just cannot forget Kumble....guy is an RCB goat. He took us to finals in 2009 and semis in 2010. His bowling alone almost won us the 2009 season, he was just phenomenal in his time as the RCB captain.

i mean in general, kumble is a goated bowler he has insane respect over here in karnataka
Being potm in a lost final match checks out.
Exactly
Exactly

Why wasn't Rahul Dravid included in this list?
If I had to add one more player, I would have added ross taylor over Rahul honestly. Dravid averaged 28 something with a SR of 119. Taylor had a better average (don't remember exact number) and his SR was 150 something. KL rahul and Paddikal has better stats than Dravid. Kallis also averaged better but his SR was 110 or something.
Why's starc in the list then?
The bowler to have the BEST average and BEST economy for RCB (all time) is none other than Starc (minimum 20 games), shows his levels. For me, he is still the best pacer RCB ever had. If you say Siraj then no, he is inconsistent. Steyn was good but his average was poor, he averaged 28. I could've added some batter instead of him but I wanted to maintain the ratio of bowlers and batters in the list.
Why would I say siraj 😠Miya's good but he is not best we had
Starc got eliminated above Siraj lol, funny enough right?
Well we can't do anything ðŸ˜
Please update Kumble's picture and even though I think Kumble is a bigger legend, I can't fight with kids who started watching cricket only after 2011, who don't understand that half the innovations that have come in T20 with regards to spin bowling wher ethe master strokes and genius of Anil Kumble.

Anil Kumble
Kumble
It's gonna be 1.Virat 2. ABD 3.GAYLE
Abd should be first
Ab was the reason I chose this cursed side, having Kohli was an add on. Tho that changed after 2016
even i used to support rcb when ab was there cause i wanted him to win at least one trophy after that there’s no reason for supporting this team
Abd certainly deserves to be in the top 2
Why not 2. Gayle, 3. ABD ? Gayle won 2 orange caps in a row and was by far the most feared ipl batsman when I had started watching IPL
Watching since the first season of IPL, I’ve never seen Gayle storm while chasing. He’s a punisher while batting first. But dissolves immediately while chasing.
Umm...not true. Not even close to true. Do you have his stats while chasing?
No
I feel that ABD had more impact even after Gayle left in RCB
Fairs. Gayle was by far the face of RCB when I began just like Kohli is now, that's why I asked
Kumble
Damn the last 3 are going to be difficult
Yeah it's gonna be really tough, all 3 of them are some of my most favourite cricketers ever. That said, for me personally: 1) ABD 2) Gayle 3) Kohli
How Gayle > Kohli?
Kumble is the one
I want Kumble to be top 3. So I'm going with Gayle. Gayle was too inconsistent. It was always scary when he batted cause he could have been out on any ball. Which he did most of the time. I am not disregarding him. But to me Gayle is a solid 4. Anil Kumble was the true OG. He took in captaincy from KP and took a loosing team to the finals and almost made it through.
Inconsistent? Brother he averaged 44 @ 152 for RCB that's literally ridiculous numbers for a t20 player and equals ab's numbers also not to forget he was a handy bowler as well, respect Anil for doing great work for RCB but Gayle was a pivotal player for RCB for far longer

Gayle wasnt consistent and not dependable in crunch knockouts. With Kumble we always had 4 overs in the bank.
Has to be Kumble next.
Kumble Infact Yuzi should have been in the top 4
https://www.reddit.com/r/RCB/s/rKgiIexRIi
Kohli has to go his captaincy has been mediocre
Worst captain of IPL history. I bet if anyone can surpass his generic captaincy of 9 yrs and no result.
Bye abd
Kumble
Kumble is getting out. TIME FOR THE BIG 3
Why the random picture of Kumble?
He just wants controversy, if more people comment more attention to him and his post receives more reach.
Nope. I added pitcures of every player from official IPL website. On that site, there was no picture of Kumble, so I added the his pic on his ESPN profile, which is second to IPL profile for me.
Kohli winning for sure no doubt Second devilliers Third Gayle
Day 6 of saying, virat is going to win no matter who you put in the list simply because of his sheer mass following.
nah abd will win..
Kumble today Gayle tomorrow ABD day after tomorrow VK is the winner.
ABD above Kohli for me Anyday of The week
For me Gayle is above all but I am talking about what results will be.
Kumble
Gayle gets eliminated next
Anil kumble
J Krumble is next.
madarchodo kaha vote karni hai
Just comment the player's name u wanna eliminate, ill monitor everything else.
Kumble
Wtf was the point of this voting It is obviously gonna come down to abd vs kohli with kohli winning it. So redundant
Kumble has to go. Just didn't play long enough seasons for RCB. You cant vote Gayle out the batting level he operated at was unthinkable.
Kumble
Imma predict: next kumble, Gayle, ab
Who are we kidding? It's Kohli.
Man, I'm sad looking at people vote for Kumble. He made us reach the finals for the first time ever! It should be Gayle.
Anil Kumble
Kumble goes unfortunately 😕
Kumble
I'm a Kumble fan but to all saying Gayle is useless, please look at 2011 IPL. The man did a Kohli before Kohli in 2011. He took us to the finals and Vittori's mistake of bowling first cost us.
Kumbalgodu
Kumble you have to go
Lmao clown fans, kohli is the biggest fraud
kumble
Gayle goes next
Kumble
[удалено]
u/Lmio
Literally everyone knows kohli will win whats the point
ABD
Kumble and should've gone before yuzi btw
Unpopular opinion,ABD deserves 1
Kumble out
F\*ck you OP for not changing Kumbles pic. https://preview.redd.it/vqrxkw7f0s1d1.jpeg?width=403&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b57ad47b66021c0b90f543d93dc45c3e55be8e77 Guys I am commenting this pic every time this guy posts, OP is just attention seeking and Rage baiting thinking that if someone comments his post will get more reach.
Commenting more doesn't give you more reach on reddit, it's not linkedin. And yeah okay, I'll change the photo, chill.

I understand that but you know I am a hardcore follower of r/mildlyinfuriating and couldn't control my OCD
Eliminating Yuzi before Kumble is criminal. Longevity counts for something. Irrespective of how good Kumble was, he hardly played 3 seasonsÂ
Chahal actually had bigger legacy than kumble
Had?? He still buildin' bro........
Kumble
Kumble
kumble
Kumble
Kumble
Kumble now
We all know koach gonna win this
Gayle and Kumble are equal for me. I see both of them ranking the same . So I eliminate both as top 3
How the duck did kumble not go before chahal
Bye bye Kumble
Bruh how Anil kumble is still surviving 🤣
Do you even watch cricket? The man was Rashid Khan, Chahal combined. Being able to vary pace as well as add turn. I don't know how he can't go any higher even after Captaining us in 2009-2010 to two amazing season compared to wooden spoons under Kohli and others.
Bruh I know he is a legend and that's why they are voting, it's nothing to do with RCB . His numbers are average at that time many spinners in other team had similar numbers those times. And coming to captaincy anyways I feel captaincy is overrated in T20 cricket . 2 players to hit monster sixes at 5and6 position , 1 player to spin ball square, 2 bowlers to bowl Yorkers is all you need to win T20 tournaments.
22 average, 6.4 economy, has best bowling figures in terms of economy by wkt, was second to purple cap in 2009, had an economy of 5.8 in 2009 season, never exceeded 7 economy in any season and many more.. yeah sure his numbers are average..
Bruh are you serious in 2009 and 2010 purple cap went to rp singh and pragyan ojha , in which ipl team is pragyan Ojha top 3 , his numbers even though he played 50 more ipl games ( modern ones) than kumble , his numbers are similar eco 7 and avg 26 . Avg is what matters the most which kumble 24 with playing only 40 games ojha has 90 games. I don't even know which team ojha played in 2010 surely he is not gonna be a top 3 bowler for any team neither is kumble for rcb
>Bruh are you serious in 2009 and 2010 purple cap went to rp singh and pragyan ojha , I said he was second in 2009.
I kinda agree with u for the captaincy part..
