Greatest RCB XI of all time

#3 Virat Kohli (Captain)

Virat Kohli slammed four centuries during the 2016 IPL season

At No.3 will be Virat Kohli. He was the sole player to be retained by the franchise in the 2011 auctions and Kohli responded with 557 runs in the season and was soon fast-tracked to the captaincy post after Daniel Vettori retired.

After a few indifferent seasons, in which he scored 165 and 246 respectively, Kohli came into his own as he crossed the 300-run barrier for the first time (307 runs) in 2010 edition of the IPL. However, Kohli's finest hour arrived in the 2016 edition where he racked up 973 runs glittered with four awe-inspiring hundreds.

#4 AB de Villiers

Mr 360- AB de Villiers

At No.4 comes, Mr 360, AB de Villers. With an inherent ability to play shots all around the ground, De Villiers on his day can reduce the bowlers to a mere machine.

He can play both, the role of a power hitter as well as of a sheet anchor as and when the situation demands.

#5 Ross Taylor

One of the perennial RCB rockstars

One of the perennial RCB rockstars, Ross Taylor comes in at No.5. Taylor represented RCB from since 2008, but his finest moment arrived in the 2009 season in which he accumulated 280 runs at a strike-rate of 134.61.

Taylor went unsold in the 2015 auctions and have been an absentee from the tournament since then.

#6 Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey announced himself to the cricketing world with a magnificent 114

Manish Pandey announced himself to the cricketing world with a magnificent 114 against the Deccan Chargers in the 2009 edition of the IPL.

Pandey, en route to a scintillating 114, also became the first Indian to register an IPL 100. He will serve as an ideal finisher for the Challengers.

Pandey represented the Sunrisers Hyderabad in what turned out to be a disappointing season for the Karnataka batsman.
