In at number 8 will be Washington Sundar. Moeen Ali has been preferred over Sundar in the first four matches of RCB in this year's IPL and Sundar might get the nod against KKR. He was brilliant for RCB last year and there was no reason whatsoever to drop him from the starting XI this year and he simply has to play against KKR.

In at number 9 will be Nathan Coulter-Nile. Coulter-Nile has joined up with RCB camp after returning from the Pakistan-Australia series. RCB have been missing a spark in their pace battery and the lanky Australian might be that much needed spark for Kohli. The Australian can also strike a long ball and he may come handy in the slog overs with the bat.

In at number 10 will be Umesh Yadav. Yadav hasn't shown the form with new ball this year like he did last year for RCB, but still, his experience in this format is indispensable to this RCB side and Kohli will be hoping that Yadav provides a couple of early breakthroughs against KKR.

In at number 11 will be Yuzvendra Chahal. The Indian leg spinner has been RCB's best bowler and arguably RCB's best player of the tournament so far. Chahal is as important as Kohli to this RCB lineup and he will be looking forward to continuing his good form against KKR.
