After their opening pair and Virat Kohli coming in at 3, RCB will most likely look to play AB De Villiers, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar 4-7, with only Gurkeerat Mann and Pawan Negi as cover, both of whom bat at 6 and 7 respectively. Thus, RCB will look at getting a middle-order batsman who can bat at positions 4 or 5.

The Irish-born English Captain is in the form of his life with the bat. Having led his team to victory in the 50-over World Cup, he has also struck a rich vein of form in the shortest format of the game, scoring 268 runs in 9 games at an average of 44.66. He's also scored 175 runs in 6 innings at the recently concluded T10 league, averaging 43.75 whilst striking the ball at 186.17. The Bangalore based franchise would also value his leadership skills, with the current team comprising of several youngsters like Padikkal, Dube, Sundar and Negi who would gain immensely from his guidance.
