Royal Challengers Bangalore
The most entertaining side in the league, Bangalore has a lot of players to look up to. Here are some of them who the franchise is likely to retain.
1. Virat Kohli: As one of the best batsman in the world, he is Bangalore’s prized possession. A batsman who can perform under pressure, Kohli is aggressive and energetic, as a captain and fielder.
2. Chris Gayle: Quite simply the most coveted play in T20 cricket who has to his credit the most number of sixes and highest individual score. His last three season aggregates reads: 708, 733 and 608. A big hitter and a handy off-spinner, Gayle is a crowd-puller.
3. AB de Villiers: AB de Villiers has been the man who has snatched victory from the jaws of defeat numerous times. He provides stability to the RCB middle-order. Apart from being an excellent wicket-keeper, he can be an excellent fielder too. After buying him for US$1.1 million, it is unlikely that Bangalore will let go of the world’s No 1 ODI batsman.
4. Tillakaratne Dilshan: Providing strength to RCB as an opener, Tillakaratne Dilshan is a must. One of the best fielders, who can bowl handy off-spin, Dilshan and Gayle makes an explosive opening pair for Bangalore.
5. Cheteshwar Pujara: He isn’t a hard-hitting batsman, but Cheteshwar Pujara provides strength and balance in the team. Even though he has hardly played in the IPL, you would want him to hold your innings together.
