IPL 2016, KKR vs RCB Playing 11: Probable XI for Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore(Confirmed XI)

RCB will rely heavily on the duo of Kohli and de Villiers against KKR

Here's a look at the team which may play for RCB on Monday:

Batting

The RCB batting has been all about the two colossal batsmen in their team, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. Kohli has been in outstanding form and is miles ahead of others in the race for the Orange Cap with 677 runs, including a record number of centuries in a single edition of the IPL - 3. de Villiers, meanwhile, is 2nd on the list of leading run-scorers this year as he has 538 runs from 11 innings at an average of close to 54.

Apart from their incredible duo, the Challengers have also had the luxury of other batsmen doing well. KL Rahul, in particular, has been highly impressive with a tally of 332 runs at an average of over 55. There are a number of batsmen in the team who have not had too many chances to prove themselves much with the bat due to the dominance of the top order.

All-rounders

Shane Watson has been the key all-rounder for RCB in the current season by contributing heavily with the ball and also getting some useful runs in the last few overs. Stuart Binny has been the only other prominent all-rounder to have played a lot this year but he has not done much of note in terms of his performance.

Bowling

Watson has been the leader of the pack among the Bangalore bowlers and has already claimed 14 wickets in the 2016 IPL. Leggie Yuzvendra Chahal had not been at his best in the initial stages of the tournament; however, he has been quite impressive over the past few games and currently has 11 wickets in 8 matches.

RCB's newest acquisition Chris Jordan had been struggling in his first three games but picked up 4 for 11 in his team's last match against Gujarat Lions to make amends. Pacer Sreenath Aravind has looked decent for his 4 wickets and has also been pretty economical. Not many other bowlers have been able to make an impact for the Challengers with the ball.

Probable Playing XI

Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers, KL Rahul (wk), Shane Watson, Sachin Baby, Stuart Binny, Chris Jordan, Sreenath Aravind, Yuzvendra Chahal, Iqbal Abdulla.
