Royal Challengers Bangalore predicted XI for IPL 2021

All-rounders: Washington Sundar, Kyle Jamieson

Kyle Jamieson has a Test batting average of 56.5 and a Test bowling average of 13.27

Washington Sundar has established beyond doubt that he's extremely capable with the bat, and he could be one of RCB's key players in IPL 2021. Always economical and reliable with the ball, the all-rounder is primed to have the best season of his IPL career so far.

Following Sundar will be RCB's other massive purchase, Kyle Jamieson. The tall Kiwi has had a remarkable start to his international career, and averages 56.5 with the bat and 13.27 with the ball in Test cricket. This is another gamble from RCB, who have spent a significant amount of money on a player not yet proven in T20 cricket.

But Jamieson certainly seems like the real deal on paper, and RCB could have a generational cricketer on their hands.

Bowlers: Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal is RCB's leading wicket-taker

The bowling attack for RCB in IPL 2020 will bear a familiar look. Pacers Navdeep Saini and Mohammed Siraj, both of whom are in and around the Indian team across formats, will serve as the specialist pacers.

The ever-reliable Yuzvendra Chahal will be the final bowler in the RCB playing XI for IPL 2021. The team's leading wicket-taker may not be too eager to return to the Chinnaswamy Stadium, but he'll look back on his previous performances at the venue with fondness.

Kane Richardson, Daniel Sams and Adam Zampa will wait in the wings for an overseas slot to open up.
