Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis hasn’t impressed much with his bowling. However, he showed his class with the bat when it mattered the most. He was given the middle-order batting burden to carry for RCB.

Moeen Ali

Dale Steyn:

The veteran fast bowler has failed to grab a deal in the auction. However, RCB signed him as a replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile. It would be interesting to see how Steyn delivers it for Virat Kohli-led side. As AB de Villiers said, Dale Steyn will give his 200% for every ball, which he delivers.

Umesh Yadav:

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal has been their best bowler in the ranks so far. He has been the consistent performer for the team. Hence, he is a certain pick in the playing XI.

Navdeep Saini

Batsmen – 9/10:

Royal Challengers Bangalore got a stunning lineup in their ranks. They got the required firepower, who can smash any kind of bowling attack on their day. All they need is a bit of application as per the situation.

Bowling 8/10

So far, it was their bowling, which let them down. However, Dale Steyn has been added to their side but the performance of other fast bowlers will hold the key for RCB, especially, against star-studded Mumbai lineup.
