#1 Tim Southee

One of the major reasons for RCB's dismal performance in this year's IPL has been their bowlers' poor form. Bowlers have neither been able to stop the flow of runs nor been able to take wickets at crucial moments.
One player who can solve RCB's bowling woes is Tim Southee. Southee hasn't joined RCB's squad till now, but after the match against Mumbai Indians, Coach Daniel Vettori said that Southee will join the team in a couple of days.
The Kiwi pacer is a veteran in IPL and his ability to bowl tight spells in the powerplays can help RCB's spinners to put pressure in the middle overs. Tim Southee's inclusion in the playing XI can bring an end to RCB's bowling troubles.
