IPL 2018: Top 3 batting line-ups

#1 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Kohli and de Villiers can annihilate any bowling-attack

Almost every batting record in the history of the IPL belongs to players from RCB. RCB have always packed their batting line-up with power hitters, adopting a bold and fearless approach when it comes to batting. This year will be no different for RCB. Even though they let go of Chris Gayle at the auction, they have found able replacements in Brendon McCullum and Quinton de Kock.

While McCullum has years of T20 experience behind him, de Kock was spectacular for Delhi Daredevils. With Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in the team, they don't have to worry about their middle order.

Kohli and de Villiers have entertained the crowds all over the country with their dazzling batting, and with the kind of form that they are in, they will be a terror to the oppositions. They have a long list of all-rounders in the squad who are more than handy with the bat.

Moeen Ali, Colin de Grandhomme, Pawan Negi and Chris Woakes all have the ability to use the long handle to good effect. Knowing the importance of a good Indian contingent, they bought proven IPL performers like Manan Vohra, Mandeep Singh and Parthiv Patel, forming formidable bench strength. RCB's mighty batting line-up can demolish any bowling-attack, thus making them the strongest batting side in IPL 2018.
