For the first time since 2019, the Bangalore franchise will begin the 2023 Indian T20 League (ITL) season at their home stadium, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. One of the few teams in the league that has never claimed the ITL Trophy is the club led by Faf du Plessis. In an interesting matchup, they begin their season against the Mumbai franchise, the team with the most final victories in the competition with five.

In a promotional event before their campaign's start in the upcoming ITL season, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis were seen addressing the crowd. As such, the South African skipper of the side mistakenly said 'Ee Sala Cup Nahi' instead of 'Ee Sala Cup Namde', taking Twitter by storm.

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis will be Bangalore's key batters for ITL 2023

Bangalore has a full-strength squad at their command heading into the 2023 ITL season after making several intriguing purchases at the ITL 2023 Auction. Du Plessis and Virat Kohli, the standout duo of the side, will bat first before Rajat Patidar enters the Lineup at position three.

Anuj Rawat might replace Patidar in the team, while rumours indicate that he will miss a few games due to injury. Glenn Maxwell appears to be the best choice for position No. 4, ahead of Mahipal Lomror in position No. 5 and Dinesh Karthik as the finisher in position No. 6.

Next, Bangalore will likely start outstanding all-rounders Wanindu Hasranga and Shahbaz Ahmed at Nos. 7 and 8, respectively. Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, and Josh Hazlewood integrate seamlessly into the Starting Lineup with their pace.

Bangalore full squad: Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Siraj, Faf Du Plessis (c), Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dinesh Karthik, Shahbaz Ahmed, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Akash Deep, Josh Hazlewood, Mahipal Lomror, Finn Allen, Suyash Prabhudessai, Karn Sharma, Siddharth Kaul, David Willey, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma,  Manoj Bhandage, Rajan Kumar, Avinash Singh, Sonu Yadav, Micheal Bracewell
