What makes an IPL franchise successful is its ability to maintain a good balance between overseas and domestic players. IPL 2018 is probably the best performance of the RCB's team management in conducting judicious purchases at the auction.

Apart from high-profile overseas players like Tim Southee, Corey Anderson and Moeen Ali, a balance has been struck with the inclusion of young, domestic talent with the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, Kulwant Khejroliya, Mohammad Siraj and Harpreet Singh Bhatia to the side.

This will help present a well-rounded and polished RCB side, worthy of winning the cup in 2018.
