They have managed to compile a pretty good squad for the upcoming edition of the tournament. Though, it will be hard for them to fill AB de Villiers’ shoes. For the top-order, they have got quality batsmen in Faf Du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell.

The onus for giving the finishing touches will be on the shoulders of Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomrar. Both have the potential to hit big shots but how often they do that remains to be seen.

Fast bowling is, undeniably, RCB’s strength. RCB have got three quality fast bowlers in Josh Hazelwood, Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel. The spin bowling duty is likely to be shared by Wanindu Hasaranga and Shahbaz Ahmed.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings failed to reach the playoffs last year. However, given the kind of squad they have compiled this year, their chances do look bright. Mayank Agarwal will lead the side and is likely to open the batting alongside KL Rahul, followed by big hitters such as Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone and number three and four respectively.

The middle-order too inspire a lot of confidence. Punjab Kings have managed to acquire the services of Shah Rukh Khan and Odean Smith, who will be responsible for giving the fining touches. As for the bowling department, Kagiso Rabada will be their biggest bet as far as fast bowling is concerned. He will share the fast bowling duties with Arshdeep Singh.

Rahul Chahar is another valuable acquisition. He will share the spin bowling duties alongside Harpreet Brar. Both teams are good on paper, though, Punjab do have an edge over RCB.
