IPL 2019: Ranking power hitters of the 8 teams

#4 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Brothers of Destruction

The duo of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers is arguably the most destructive world cricket has ever seen. Cricket looks more beautiful when these two play together, but not for the bowlers. These two have been the backbone of this Royal Challengers Bangalore for a long time.

While the addition of players like Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, and retaining the likes of Colin de Grandhomme, and Moeen Ali makes this side a batting heavy team, the inclusion of budding talents like Shivam Dubey increases the bench-strength of the team.

The new additions like Hetmyer, Stoinis, and the retained players like Colin De Grandhomme are powerful hitters of the ball and are known for this format of the game. Dubey is one such player to watch out for.

The experience of Kohli and de Villiers makes this side rank ahead of the other teams.

Expected power hitters to make the final playing XI and their T20 strike rate:

1. Virat Kohli - 133.3
2. AB de Villiers - 148.4
3. Shimron Hetmeyer - 142.42
4. Colin de Grandhomme - 166.8
