#3. Lower order

In at number 8 will be Tim Southee. The New Zealander was brilliant for RCB last year, with his death bowling being a revelation. He didn't play against CSK, but he should be picked for this one as he adds balance to the RCB bowling attack. Southee can also bat and has the ability to hit the ball long and hard.
At number 9 will be Navdeep Saini. Saini had a good debut against CSK; the young fast bowler bowled very quick and hit the pitch hard. He will be looking to knock over MI's batsmen on Thursday.
In at number 10 will be Umesh Yadav. Yadav hasn't had a brilliant year in coloured clothing for India, but he was excellent with the new ball for RCB last year. Kohli didn't use him with the new ball when he clearly should have as Yadav; this mistake should be made right against MI.
At number 11 will be Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal is the leader of this bowling attack and he has been RCB's best bowler for years now. He looked in good rhythm against CSK and he will be looking to continue his good form against MI.
