5 players who could replace AB de Villiers in RCB's playing XI against Gujarat Lions

#3 Billy Stanlake

The absence of AB de Villiers gives RCB the chance to field another overseas player, which could help Billy Stanlake get his place back into the side. He got edged out of the playing XI because of the multiple options that the Bangalore team has to fill the four foreign player quota, which resulted in Adam Milne playing the last game.

The tall pacer can generate some serious pace at nagging lengths, which could come in handy against an explosive batting line-up that has numerous big hitters in its ranks. A pacy Stanlake can certainly turn on the heat on someone like Suresh Raina, who isn’t exactly the best exponent of playing short deliveries.
