IPL: RCB's greatest overseas XI of all time

Middle Order: AB de Villiers (c), Ross Taylor, Kevin Pietersen, Mark Boucher (wk)

AB de Villiers is one of two players in this all-time IPL XI still at RCB

South African AB de Villiers is one of two players in this all-time IPL XI who are still at RCB, and he is also the captain of this side. Perhaps the team's greatest overseas player of all time, the former Proteas skipper has played 126 games in which he has scored 3,724 runs at an astounding average of 41.84 and a strike rate of 159.55. With talks of him donning the gloves in this year's IPL for RCB, De Villiers will perhaps be the team's biggest player.

New Zealand middle-order batsman Ross Taylor comes in at his favoured position of No. 4 in this all-time IPL XI. The right-hander, known for his powerful slog sweep, made 22 appearances for the Bangalore outfit and scored 517 runs at an average of 30.41 and a strike rate of 142.03.

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen is at No. 5 in this all-time IPL XI. The dominating right-hander played 13 games for RCB, and scored 329 runs at an average of 32.90 and a strike rate of 135.95. Despite the 40-year-old making only a handful of appearances, the fact that he was the captain during his stint at RCB and his big hitting abilities in the middle overs make him an automatic selection.

The second South African in this all-time IPL XI, Mark Boucher takes up the wicket-keeper's role for the side. Widely regarded as one of the greatest glovesmen ever, he took to the field 27 times for RCB, and scored 388 runs at an average of 29.85. The 43-year-old played for the Kolkata Knight Riders after RCB, before his international career was cut short by an unfortunate eye injury.
