#4 Kolkata Knight Riders

Probable Playing XI: Sunil Narine, Chris Lynn, Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Shubman Gill, Dinesh Karthik (C & WK), Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna.
World Cup Backups: They are very well served in the bowling department with talented Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti in their ranks. Joe Denly can replace Lynn at the top but apart from that, there is a lack of depth in the batting when it comes to backups.
#3 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Probable Playing XI: Parthiv Patel (WK), Virat Kohli (C), AB de Villiers, Shirom Hetmyer, Shivam Dubey, Marcus Stoinis, Washington Sundar, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
World Cup Backups: Colin de Grandhomme or Moeen Ali could be that overseas all-rounder in the team after Stoinis leaves. Presence of the likes of Henrich Klaasen, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pawan Negi and Gurkeerat Mann Singh as backups bolster their squad.
