#2 With the ball

Royal Challengers Bangalore will need a foolproof plan against Raina and co. with the ball. What helps them is the fact that Gujarat have very few good players who can face spin rather well.

In Yuzvendra Chahal, Pawan Negi and Samuel Badree, RCB have three spinners capable of attacking the batsmen. The pace variation of Tymal Mills and the consistency of Sreenath Aravind will go a long way in containing a powerful top order.

Gujarat have a weak bowling line-up that has been severely punished by several teams this IPL. Their spinners have been taken to the cleaners and the fast bowlers haven't delivered consistently.

The inclusion of Nathu Singh and Andrew Tye's return has bolstered the attack. But the task in hand is huge bearing in mind that they have to restrict the likes of Kohli, Gayle and de Villiers.
