Wicket-Keeper
AB de Villiers ended up departing for 0 the last time around but that does little to faze us from opting for him today. This track is one which plays to his strengths, a surface where a player of his expansive calibre can absolutely go on a rampage.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli looks to have regained his touch. The 90 run knock he pulled off against CSK was a testament to his expansive skill set, a sensational innings which saw him construct a truly sparkling innings to win the tie for his side.
Out of all the young names, its Devdutt Padikal he’s had the biggest impact in the league. The RCB opener has truly lived up to his stature, a player whose fast becoming the talk of the town with his consistency and reliability.
Aaron Finch has failed to take off but a more favourable track should allow him to crunch the ball to the fence with room and time as he likes.

Eoin Morgan was finally utilised up the order the last time around and with overs in his kitty, he’s going to love his time out in the middle on a pitch where he scored 44 against Delhi the last time around. Opener Rahul Tripathi has shown his calibre with two gripping knocks to see him wrap up our set of picks in this ambit.
All-Rounders
Playing only his first match of the season the last time around, Chris Morris showed why he was so eagerly awaited by RCB. He ended up with three wickets in his kitty, ones which helped put to bed RCB’s never ending predicaments in the bowling docket.
Bowling Order
As the matches have transpired on this surface, the bowlers have learnt to take speed off the ball and force batsmen to carve up shots. They have not only ended up with wickets with this gameplan but have restricted the scoring rate as well, a gameplan both Yuzvendra Chahal and Isuru Udana who had the one wicket apiece the last time around will deploy.
With two wickets in his first appearance this season, Prasidh will line up for us from the other side.
Captain And Vice-Captain
RCB Bat First: This is going to be a track where Kohli easily piles on the runs to see him captain our side while AB de Villiers is the vice-captain.
KKR Bat First: Kohli’s 90 run knock the last time around sees him represent our side as the captain while Padikal is the vice-captain.
