Strengths: RCB has the best in the business in likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in the batting unit. The two have been consistent for the team since the past few years. Shimron Hetmyer and Heinrich Klassen are two other big batting names in the team.

They also have a great bowling unit with the in form Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Yuzuvendra Chahal. The young uncapped Shivam Dubey was a big addition and he will be a player to watch out for.

The entry of Marcus Stoinis in the team will also be a big gain for the Royal Challengers. The entry provides RCB with a host of good all-rounders, including Pawan Negi, Moeen Ali and Colin-de Grandhomme.

Weaknesses: Consistency has always been a big concern for the team. For instance, Washington Sunder was phenomenal with Rising Pune Supergiants in 2017, but his performance declined with RCB.

The case has been the same for many other players as well. For RCB to win the season, the players will need to find consistency and the franchise needs to find a way to solve this problem.
