In the match number 54 of the IPL 2019, hosts will be aiming to dash Sunrisers Hyderabad‘s (SRH), playoffs hopes on May 4. But, a better side Hyderabad has to win their game to give a shot to qualify for the playoffs. Anyway, the Royal Challengers Bangalore predicted playing XI most probably could offer some new to its somewhat dejected fans.

Overall, it is going to be a riveting game despite RCB is already out of the playoffs race. With both teams, laced with star players, the high-scoring contest could go down to the wire.

Here’s the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Predicted Playing XI:

Virat Kohli has done a bulk of the job for the RCB. At the moment, he is leading RCB’s run chart. He has played some brilliant cameos – to lift the spirit of the game when things were falling apart for the RCB. He would be eager to give a resounding start to his side.

Parthiv Patel had a mixed season so far. He had got good starts to somehow help his team at the top. Having strokes, he has the power to flex his muscles.

Ab De Villiers:

AB de Villiers has been a cornerstone for his team. For the RCB, AB de Villiers has taken the onus on his shoulders – to back the pale-looking RCB.

Thus, he is the vital cog in the wheel for the Bengaluru franchise.

Heinrich Klaasen:

Henrich Klaasen has a major opportunity to leave an impact before it marks the end of IPL road for the RCB. So far, Klaasen hasn’t made any difference. But the explosive hitter of the ball could deliver in the last group match of their season.

Gurkeerat Singh Mann couldn’t impress much with his batting. However, the middle-order batsman has enough experience to play a whirlwind knock. He is looking forward to the momentum.

Shivam Dubey:

Shivam Dubey would be desperate to perform in the final game of the RCB. So far, he has looked a pale showdown.

The all-rounder has a major role to play against a decent SRH at home.

Yuzvendra Chahal:

The leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is leading the bowling charts with 17 wickets. He has been a protagonist with the ball. So, RCB will be relying majorly on his show.

Washington Sundar:

Washington Sundar hasn’t got enough to showcase himself. After missing the major fixtures, Sundar made an entry at the business end of the tourney. Given his all-rounder role, he could be more effective with the ball.

Umesh Yadav:

Umesh Yadav has made well use of his experience and his variations. He has also troubled the batters. Also, he had faced a tough time while leaking runs at times.

He has claimed eight wickets under his belt.

Navdeep Saini has somewhat gone through hardships to improve his game. While learning the niceties of the game, Saini has further tried hard to make most of his opportunities.

Besides, he has bagged nine so far in this season.

Kulwant Khejroliya:

Kulwant Khejroliya hasn’t got many games to make an impact. However, he has a final chance to spoil the party of the SRH.
