IPL 2016, DD vs RCB Playing 11: Probable XI for Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore(Confirmed XI)

Virat Kohli will be looking to push his team into the playoffs

Here's the likely team which may play for Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Batting

RCB skipper Virat Kohli has easily been the best batsman in the 2016 IPL with a record-shattering performance. Kohli has an enormous tally of 865 runs, the most in an IPL season ever, and it includes a staggering 4 centuries, another IPL record. AB de Villiers has also been in devastating form with 597 runs so far at an average of 54.27 and a tremendous strike rate of more than 172.

While Kohli and De Villiers have hogged the limelight, KL Rahul has quietly gone about his business scoring 348 runs in just 9 innings at a terrific average of 58. Chris Gayle has shown glimpses of his return to form in Bangalore's last two matches with scores of 49 and 73. Sachin Baby has also done a decent job in the 4 innings that he has played with 101 runs at a strike rate of over 150.

All-rounders

Shane Watson has been the most successful all-rounder for Royal Challengers Bangalore this year with more than 150 runs and a lot of wickets. Stuart Binny has not had many opportunities with the bat and has not created much of an impression with the ball too. Other all-rounders in the squad have not received too many chances to play.

Bowling

Leggie Yuzvendra Chahal has recovered from an average start to become RCB's leading wicket-taker in the 2016 IPL with 16 wickets and an economy rate of under 8. Watson has also picked up 16 wickets in the tournament and has been Bangalore's most consistent performer with the ball this season.

Pacer Sreenath Aravind has also improved as the tournament has progressed and currently has 8 wickets. Varun Aaron, on the other hand, has been struggling so far with just 2 wickets in 8 matches and a high economy rate of 9.59. England pacer Chris Jordan has been decent with 5 wickets in the season.

Probable Playing XI

Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers, KL Rahul (wk), Shane Watson, Sachin Baby, Stuart Binny, Chris Jordan, Sreenath Aravind, Varun Aaron, Yuzvendra Chahal.
