#2 Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB has always been the most explosive and entertaining sides in the IPL. They have always boasted of some of the biggest in the circuit, but they have never tasted IPL success with the three opportunities they had till date.
RCB's batting is explosive with Virat Kohli, AB de Villers, Moeen Ali, Colin de Grandhomme and Shimron Hetmeyer in the ranks. RCB's main focus in this years auction was to strengthen their lower middle order to avoid over-dependence on Kohli and ABD.
They have picked up Gurkeerat Singh, Marcus Stoinis and the big-hitting young lad Shivam Dube. If they click as a batting order, they would be almost unstoppable as Kohli and ABD are in red-hot form.
RCB's bowling is led by Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav and Yajuvendra Chahal. RCB's major issue over the years has been their bowling as they fail to defend totals. This time they have a good mix of bowling options which may help them to surge ahead.
If Kohli and ABD set the ball rolling and others chip in, RCB can hope to win the first ever title.
