IPL 2018: 3 tactical changes RCB should for the game against KXIP

#2 Playing an extra all-rounder

Bangalore went with 2 overseas batters in the last game, but that decision proved costly. Quinton de Kock is not going to a supreme phase, and he should be sacrificed for the Kiwi all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme. de Grandhomme is known for his hard-hitting ability and can do a formidable job with the ball in hand.

His last year's economy rate was a bit over 8 runs per over, and strike rate was over 135. He has improved a lot as a cricketer over a year, and his international T20 strike rate of over 150 shows exactly why the Harare-born cricketer can be lethal. By including him in the team, RCB can get their skipper Kohli to open the innings alongside Brendon McCullum.
