IPL 2021: Strongest Predicted Playing XIs of all teams
Selecting an XI when there are so many options available is quite a difficult task and even the smallest of errors can cost a team in a massive way.
7. Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB have never stuck to the same set of players and their constant chopping and changing of personnel. It will be the same this year due to the fact they released several players and there will be a few new faces in the team. Devdutt Padikkal will be assisted by Virat Kohli at the top of the order after the Indian skipper confirmed that he would open this season.
AB de Villiers will come in at 3 and is likely to fulfill wicket-keeping duties as well. Glenn Maxwell is expected to bat at No.4 and if he plays as he plays for Australia, RCB’s top 4 will be the best in the league. One of their domestic players is likely to bat 5 and Sachin Baby might get the nod initially given that he has previous IPL experience. Daniel Christian will have a massive role to play at 6 as RCB has lacked good finishers in recent times. The Australian will also be the sixth bowling option.
Washington Sundar will walk in at No.7, and he will look to continue his batting form while also ensuring that he chokes the flow of runs with the ball in hand. Kyle Jamieson was bought for big money during the auction, and RCB will expect a lot from him in all three departments. Aside from contributing a few runs with the bat, he will also be the lead fast bowler. Yuzvendra Chahal will once again lead the spin attack. Harshal Patel and Mohammed Siraj will occupy the remaining places in the XI.
