The team consisting of players like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers which makes the team crowd favorite but they haven't been on their best so far.

#4 Washington Sundar

Is Chahal- Sundar spin duo enough?

Coming to international cricket at the age of 18, Washington Sundar looked quite effective in white ball cricket. In last year's IPL, he played for Pune Supergiant where he took 8 wickets in 11 matches with an economy of 6.16 which really shows what he is capable of.

After not getting his name in U-19 World Cup squad, he had quite better time in his career. He gets his name in the Indian Team in both ODI and T20I squad to play against Sri Lanka but didn't get much chance to prove himself. But now, he is really enjoying his time in the ongoing tri-series against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In total 5 T20I he played so far, he has taken 8 wickets with an excellent economy of 5.8. He can also do wonders with the bat for RCB, as he is very much capable of hitting big sixes.

#3 Moeen Ali

An English all-rounder who is known for his match winning performances with both the bowl and bat, Ali has been quite effective for England in all three formats of the game. He hasn't played any IPL matches till now but definitely has an experience of International cricket. In 22 T20I he played so far, he contributed 202 with a strike rate of 112.85 and has taken 14 wickets with an economy of 7.69. He has been purchased by RCB for 1.7 Crore.

He could be handy for RCB with both bat and bowl. The left hander is also capable of hitting boundaries in death overs which really adds plus point to the team. He is quite economical as far his bowling is concerned. With Chahal and Sundar in his side, he didn't need to worry much about his bowling but had to make his impact with the bat.

#2 Chris Woakes

After having a fantastic IPL season last year for Kolkata Knight Riders, he was sold for a whooping Rs. 7.4 Crore to RCB in this year's IPL auction and he is really going to make it count. He has been in sensational form this year for England in both departments.

In 13 IPL matches he played so far, he has taken 17 wickets with an economy of 8.77. He hasn't got much chances to show his batting skills but definitely would be very key of RCB. He can bowl both at start of the innings and at death over as well. His experience of international cricket would definitely help RCB to win their maiden IPL title.

#1 Brendon McCullum

Star opener in international cricket, the most explosive cricketer on earth, Brendon McCullum scored a magnificent 158* in the inaugural match of the inaugural season of IPL. Playing for KKR in the first season, he has been quite sensational with the bat and since then, he has played for multiple teams in the IPL. Now, finally it's RCB who got the chance to make the most of it. Royal Challengers have spent Rs.3.6 Crore to get him into the team and the team management would really want him to perform well consistently.

If RCB has to win the trophy, he has to be at his best. In 103 IPL matches he played so far, he has made 2754 runs with a strike rate of 131.08 with 2 centuries and 13 half centuries to his name.
