#7 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Kohli should open the batting in a Super Over for RCB.

RCB has a stellar batting line-up that they can send out during a Super Over situation but there is some doubt over their bowling line-up.

Batsmen: Virat Kohli and Aaron Finch (Openers), and AB De Villiers (No.3).

Virat Kohli and Aaron Finch should open the batting for RCB in a Super Over. Both players can find the boundaries with ease and have played in pressure situations before. AB De Villiers should walk out to bat in case a wicket falls. Mr. 360 can send any bowler to the fence and is a devastating striker of the ball, and his pick is another no-brainer.

Bowler(s): Chris Morris or Yuzvendra Chahal

Chris Morris should be RCB's lead pacer and is likely to be the option to bowl in a Super Over. Morris has done well in such situations and is a very experienced T20 player. If the management feels like letting a spinner bowl would be better, Yuzvendra Chahal is their best choice. Chahal is one of the smartest bowlers in the world and can spin a web around the batsman in the right conditions.


#8 Sunrisers Hyderabad

Warner and Bairstow should undoubtedly open the batting for SRH in a Super Over.

The Sunrisers haven't had to play in a Super Over for a long time but they appear to have the resources to do well if a situation arises.

Batsmen: David Warner and Jonny Bairstow (Openers), and Manish Pandey (No.3)

The side's usual openers, Warner and Bairstow, should open the batting in a Super Over. Both of them can go all guns blazing right from the first ball, and there isn't any need to justify their names. Manish Pandey should bat at No.3 in the Super Over. SRH's big signing showed his brilliance in the latter stages of last season batting at No.3 and can find the fence with ease.

Bowlers: Bhuvneshwar Kumar or Rashid Khan

SRH have quality spin-bowling options that they can send out to bowl in the Super Over. Rashid Khan or even Mohammad Nabi have been very economical in T20 cricket and are ideal choices to bowl the Super Over.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be the more conventional choice, although it'll be interesting to see how he does, given his troubles with fitness for the past year.
