#2 Bengaluru Blasters
Although this franchise topped the points table after the league stage last season, they faltered in the finals. However, this season, the Bengaluru Blasters have a good chance of going all the way in the tournament.
Karnataka's best bowler in the 2018 Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, V Koushik, was retained by Bengaluru Blasters ahead of the auctions. He is one of the best T20 bowlers in the state and will lead the bowling unit of this team.
Bengaluru Blasters possess one of the best batting line-ups in the tournament. While Rohan Kadam would provide stability at the top, 32-year-old Rongsen Jonathon is an experienced option in the middle-order. Sharath BR will don the wicket-keeping duties while there are also handy all-rounders like Manoj Bhandage and Bharath Duri in the squad.
Overall, this team looks all set to go one step further from last season.
