Royal Challengers Bangalore will once again be on the hunt to chase down their maiden IPL title, and this time, they may as well go all the way because of the kind of team they have. RCB is one of those teams that has almost all the bases covered. From good openers to devastating middle order to nuclear finishers, Bangalore boasts of a stupendous batting line-up.
The addition of Will Jacks in the middle order will solve the number 4 problem and Shahbaz Ahmed, who was used as a floater, can bat at number 7, with Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik assuming full-fledged finishing duties. In terms of their bowling, Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Mohammed Siraj are good to go and proven performers. Here is the team's strongest playing 11.
RCB's Probable Starting Eleven
Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli, Will Jacks, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik, Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Siddarth Kaul
