IPL 2017: Top 4 teams with strongest Indian contingents

#3 Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB will have a lot of expectations from the likes of Kedar Jadhav this season

Any team that features Virat Kohli, the best batsman on the planet across all formats, will make it to this list on his form alone. But, RCB is more than just King Kohli. They also have the stylish Karnataka batsman and Indian Test opener Lokesh Rahul, who came into his own last year under Kohli’s wing.

RCB has leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who delivered India’s best T20 spell recently, against England with a six-wicket haul. Throw in another recent success story, Kedar Jadhav and the young, swashbuckling batsman, Sarfaraz Khan, youngest player to play in the IPL when he made his debut, and RCB has an Indian contingent that can win matches on its own.

They also have seam-bowling all-rounder Stuart Binny and spin-bowling all-rounder Pawan Negi, along with left-arm pacer, Srinath Aravind. This is the side that has everything to win the silverware. Maybe, they will need a little luck too?
