Royal Challengers Bangalore sits at the bottom of the points table. The Virat Kohli-led side has played six matches thus far and they are yet to savor a win in the season. In fact, the hopes of making the playoff stages are all but done and dusted. Consequently, they would like to get their first win of the season. Sportzwiki takes a look at the Royal Challengers Bangalore Predicted Playing XI.
On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab has won four matches out of the seven they have played. In fact, Punjab was in a shoo-in position in the last match against Mumbai Indians. However, they could not finish the match as Kieron Pollard snatched a win from the jaws of the defeat.
Here is the look at Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Predicted Playing XI.
Parthiv Patel
The wicketkeeper-batsman has been in decent form with the bat. The southpaw batsman will like to once again deliver the goods.
Virat Kohli
The Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper has been the top run-getter for the Bangalore franchise. Consequently, he will like to continue the good show with the bat.
AB de Villiers
The former Proteas batsman hasn’t been at his best in the tourney. AB de Villiers is a big batsman for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and he would like to come up with a fine performance.
Marcus Stoinis
Marcus Stoinis hasn’t yet hit the straps in the ongoing season. The Australian all-rounder had scored only 15 runs in the previous match.
Moeen Ali
Moeen Ali had played a good cameo in the last match against Delhi Capitals as he had scored a fine knock of 32 runs off just 18 balls. Hence, he would like to deliver the goods.
Akshdeep Nath
The Uttar Pradesh captain had provided the finishing touches in the previous match as he had scored 19 runs off just 12 balls.
Pawan Negi
Pawan Negi has impressed with the ball as well as in the field. However, he hasn’t got a lot of chance to bat in the middle.
RCB is still searching for the first win of the season.
Tim Southee
The veteran fast bowler has failed to impress with the ball. The New Zealand pacer will like to come up with a solid performance for the RCB.
Washington Sundar
The Tamil Nadu spinner should get a chance in the playing XI. He can bowl in the powerplay overs and the young prodigy should replace Mohammed Siraj, who has been expensive.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Chahal has been the pick of the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowler. The leg-spinner has scalped nine wickets in the six matches.
Navdeep Saini
The Delhi-based fast bowler has impressed with his raw pace. Saini will like to take more wickets as he has thus far taken four wickets.
