Bowlers: Yuzvendra Chahal, Imran Tahir and Jasprit Bumrah

RCB lost their first two matches of the season but that does not mean some players have not done well for them. Yuzvendra Chahal has been putting up good performances with the ball for the Virat Kohli led team. The wrist spinner took most number of wickets in the first week of the season. RCB would need more such performances from him if they want to save their season.

Imran Tahir was fantastic for CSK in the opening match of the season against RCB. The South African leg-spinner ran through the RCB batting in that match as they folded up for just 70 runs. If Tahir can continue this form, it would be very tough for anyone to stop CSK this season.

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best bowlers of this generation, across all formats. After a poor outing by his standards in the first match, the fast bowler showed his class against RCB. The Indian pace spearhead gave away just 20 runs and took three wickets in his quota of four overs against Virat Kohli's men.
