The Royal Challengers Bangalore seem to have beefed up their team with respect to their batting and their bowling too and have seen some improvement with respect to what we saw last season.

They possess a good pace battery led by Umesh Yadav who was brilliant last season. Though he hasn't been in the best form lately, he will turn up when the onus is upon him. They also have Nathan Coulter-Nile who's proving why he's such a great and highly sought after player with his performances in the ongoing India vs Australia series. His versatility to bowl at any stage of the innings will hugely help RCB.

They have Mohammad Siraj and Kulwant Khejroliya as Indian backups and Tim Southee as an overseas pace backup. Colin De Grandhomme and the very important Marcus Stoinis are also good pace options.

In the spin department, Yuzvendra Chahal will lead the attack and they have plenty of options in Pawan Negi, Washington Sundar, Moeen Ali and Prayas Ray Barman gives adequate backup.

Overall, they possess a potent bowling lineup to complement their batting and seem to be a strong side.
