IPL 2018: 4 dark horses who can change RCB's fortunes

#1 Washington Sundar

The off-spinning all-rounder has been in sublime form off-late and was proclaimed the man of the tournament in the recently concluded Nidahas Trophy. He is someone who can bowl in the powerplays on a consistent basis and is competent of making some early inroads for his side.

He doesn't give the ball much air and generally sticks to a wicket-to-wicket line without giving the batsman any room to play with. Till now in 6 T20I that he has played, he went on to get 9 wickets at a tremendous economy rate of 5.67.

Last year, he played for the Rising Pune Supergiants and turned out to be matchless upfront with the new ball, and bowled at a stupendous economy rate of 6.17 in a tournament where 180 is just a par score.

This year Virat will bank on him to get a few early breakthroughs and some frugal overs during the powerplays. RCB will be hoping that Sundar delivers in the powerplays, unlike the Samuel Badree experimentation which went horribly wrong for the RCB.
