Dinesh Karthik
There can be no debate about Dinesh Karthik's value as a player and his signing at RCB underscores the team's belief in his ability to help them bring the trophy home.
Karthik is one of the most experienced players in the IPL, having been part of the tournament since its first season, all the way back in 2008. He has represented a number of different franchises over the years, playing a whopping 213 IPL games and amassing 4046 runs.
The wicket-keeper batsman last played for RCB during the 2015 season. He returns after being released by the Kolkata Knight Riders.
RCB will count on his experience and ability to keep calm under pressure and provide stability in the middle order - an area which the team has lacked in.
DK will likely take up the wicket-keeping duties for the team as well, making him a valuable part of the squad.
