#1 Jonny Bairstow
Jonny Bairstow was who was unsold in the last IPL auction but he later admitted that he wasn't expecting him to be bought by a franchise. His performances for the England national side made the cricketing world turn on its head. He was a driving force in England's dream run to the top of the ICC ODI Rankings.

A very safe wicket keeping option and a destructive batsman, Bairstow has made the world turn on its head. His performances for England have been spectacular, he has scored 1025 runs in 22 matches averaging a great 48 and a phenomenal strike rate of 120 in ODIs.
He can bat in any position in the top 5 but is most destructive at the top of the order and can be a suitable replacement for De Kock. With the side releasing the other opener Mccullum, Bairstow can certainly be a good pick for RCB this season.
