Virat Kohli is undoubtedly the most feared cricketer in international cricket at the moment. And he certainly is the best in the business. King Kohli brings elegance and aggression in the perfect balance to the party. And if he gets going, there is simply no stopping him.
Even after retiring from international cricket, AB de Villiers is unarguably one of the best when it comes to T20 cricket. AB has the reputation of taking the bowler for a ride all around the ground with his 360° hitting. We can surely expect him to light the stadiums up in IPL 2020.
Moeen is one of the best all-rounders in world cricket at the moment. He played a crucial role in England's victory last year and has always proved to be vital for RCB as well. He brings in the perfect balance to the team with his brilliant bowling and powerful batting skills.
India's ace spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the key players of the RCB 2020 squad. With the ability to take wickets at crucial stages, Yuzi Chahal will surely trouble the batsman with his vicious bowling in this IPL just like every other IPL he has played so far.
One of the most important additions to the RCB 2020 Squad is the Australian captain Aaron Finch. If he begins his 'Finch' hitting, all the fielders are good for, is to be mere spectators. He can surely make an impact in IPL 2020.
