#2 Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

Royal Challengers Bangalore has been one the most underwhelming and underperforming teams in the history of the IPL. Time and again, they’ve promised a lot but they’ve failed to deliver. This time they have opted to 14 players.
While RCB’s bowling line-up looks settled with plenty of options to choose from, they have retained only three pure batsmen - Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Parthiv Patel. With these three likely to form the top-order and with a couple of all-rounders in the middle, RCB could well opt for Glenn Maxwell.
RCB have had problems with their middle-order in the last couple of seasons. They’ve often been found out when the top-order fails to fire. Hence, Maxwell could be a good addition to the side. He can be used as a floater as well and can also provide a handy off-spin option as well.
Maxwell could well be a game-changer for RCB in the middle and it will help Kohli and de Villiers to play with freedom at the top.
