#4 Right balance in the squad
This season RCB finally got their auction plan right. They didn't run after star names but instead looked for the players who could provide a much-needed stability to the team. They spent wisely and created a good mix of talent and experience.
RCB are called by many as the South Africa of IPL because of their tendency to choke at key moments. A big reason that RCB failed on big occasions was excessive pressure on certain star players.
A recent example was the group stage match between RCB and KKR in the 2017 season where RCB were bowled out for just 49 runs even after having the likes of Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle and Kedar Jadhav in their lineup.
But this time around, they have gathered an exciting group of bowlers and a talented group of batsmen, more surprisingly they have all of those four bowlers who bowled them out for 49 runs.
This season RCB have got key players and substitutes for almost every position and this will boost their chances of winning IPL 2018.
