I wonder someday if RCB wasn’t the part of IPL will this League be that successful as it is today. They always start as favorite and end up without Cup. So “Ee Sala Cup Namde” would be true this year? One thing Virat will obviously miss is Banglore Crowd. Let`s look at Full squad Royal Challengers Bangalore and analyze.
Auction Picks :
RCB’s auction was a lot more than that 30 cr spent on Maxwell and Jamieson. RCB was struggling with the limited Indian Middle-order batsman options last year probably they were having one who wasn’t successful. RCB bought the best-uncapped batsman available from the Pool. Inclusion of Azharudin, Rajat Patidar, S Prabhudesai, Sachin Baby (was part of RCB in 2016), K Bharat (wk) . RCB also bought Australian Lucky Charm Christian who has almost every trophy of Tournament in his cabinet whose part he was so maybe it is time for IPL. Pre-Auction RCB traded Dan Sams and Harshal Patel from Delhi. Post-auction Josh opt-out so RCB went for Kiwi Wk batsman Finn Allen.

CBC’s predicated playing XI from Full squad Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Bench Strength :
Captain Virat said last year this is the best IPL team I was part of but for me, this is the best opportunity RCB have to lift the cup. RCB almost covered the best Indian Talents and a have multi-options on the side. RCB also picked a couple of all-rounders, so creating extra bowling options in the lineup.RCB may miss Chris Morris and Umesh but apart from this they have covered almost every aspect of the team.
