Virat Kohli (captain):
One of the biggest attractions of this lucrative league, the Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper is set to remain on the sidelines for at least a couple of weeks to recover from the shoulder injury he had sustained during the Test series against Australia.
The India skipper was the Orange Cap winner of last season with an astonishing 973 runs in 16 outings including 4 centuries and 7 half-centuries.
