IPL 2018: 45th Match: DD vs RCB - Royal Challengers Bangalore Predicted XI

The Royal Challengers Bangalore will travel to Delhi Daredevils home den for the 45th match of the IPL 2018. Virat Kohli led team has won only three matches out of the ten they have played. Thus, they are hanging on in the tournament by a thin thread.

Both of these teams are at the bottom of the points table and thus it is going to be a wooden spoon contest

On the other hand, Delhi Daredevils are already out of the playoff race. But the Men in Blue can play killjoy in the hopes of other teams.

Meanwhile, Men in Red are not up to the mark in their game. Thus, Virat Kohli led team will like to be at the top of their game. They aren’t going to be second chances from their current position and the players will have to give their best performance.

Here is a look at the Predicted Playing XI of the Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Quinton de Kock:

Quinton de Kock has returned back to India after attending his friend marriage. Thus, the southpaw wicketkeeper-batsman should make his way into the playing XI.

Parthiv Patel:

Parthiv Patel has looked in good form since he has come into the final XI of the RCB. The gloveman will like to continue his good form if he is presented with another opportunity.
