Middle-order maestros

Batting at no.4 will be none other than Ab De Villiers, The Protea batsman will be high on confidence after winning the test series against Australia and scoring 44 runs off just 23 balls against KKR. With a strike rate of over 145 in T20, Ab de Villiers becomes an automatic choice for the no.4 spot.

Batting next will be Mandeep Singh. He is a talented batsman from the state of Punjab who can play at a high striking rate. Mandeep has played many Match-winning knocks for RCB. It was Mandeep Singh because of whom RCB was able to set up a big total. He scored 37 runs in 18 balls at a strike-rate of 205.56.

Sarfaraz Khan who was retained by RCB over the likes of Chris Gayle and KL Rahul played a mediocre knock of 6 runs in the previous game. Manan Vohra who has performed exceptionally well for the KXIP might make his ground the playing XI in place of Sarfaraz.
