#1 Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal came into the limelight with his exceptional performance in the 2015 season when he picked up 23 wickets in 15 matches.
He earned his India call-up in 2016 and has become one of the world's best T20I bowlers. His economy rate might not be the best but his ability to pick up wickets at regular intervals makes him one of the best bowlers in the shortest format of the game.
He was RCB's leading wicket-taker last season as well. It came as a surprise to everyone when the team management decided against retaining him and going for Sarfaraz Khan instead.
However, he is the favourite to be retained using the RTM card and it will be interesting to see how much RCB will have to shell out to retain him.
