IPL 2018: Predicting the starting eleven of Bangalore

No. 5: Sarfaraz Khan

Sarfaraz Khan is a young and talented middle-order batsman

RCB showed tremendous faith in the former U-19 player, Sarfaraz Khan, by retaining the young lad for the 2018 edition. Along with De Villiers and Kohli, Sarfaraz was retained before the auction by the RCB side.

Sarfaraz made a name for himself way back in 2013, when he smashed records in Mumbai Cricket. He became the youngest player to feature for RCB in 2015 and has since then proven his worth with quality pinch-hitting down the order.

RCB's batting apart from the three big names previously mentioned lacks proper experience, so Sarfaraz and Co. will have to step up to the challenge.
