IPL 2018: A look at how RCB could line-up this season

#10 Umesh Yadav

The expectation would be high for Umesh Yadav at RCB

Umesh Yadav, who was bought for 4.2 crore, will share the opening bowling duties with Chris Woakes.

Although an inconsistent bowler, he is definite to start in the line-up given Kohli’s liking for raw pace.

Yadav can consistently bowl at 140s and at times can swing the bowl causing trouble to the batsman. Expectations would be high from this IPL veteran who is nearing 100 wickets.

Matches 94, Wickets 91, Average 29.75, Economy Rate 8.4, BBI 24/4

#11 Yuzvendra Chahal

Chahal has been one of India's most successful bowlers in recent times

N0. 11 in the line-up will be the leggie, who has impressed everyone with his attacking bowling.

Chahal has been a star performer for RCB in the past because of which he was bought through the right-to-match card for a fair amount of 6.4 crore.

Playing majority of his games at the batting track at Chinnaswamy, he has done an incredible job for his side picking wickets regularly and even containing the batsmen (has an economy of just 7.9) to stem the flow of runs.
