Royal Challengers Bangalore started their campaign high, beating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 16 runs. Rookie Devdutt Padikkal with the bat and Yuzvendra Chahal with the ball were the heroes of RCB’s victory. As they take on Kings XI Punjab in their next challenge, RCB will be eager to continue their form and get another bag win.
Chris Morris isn’t 100 percent yet, so RCB can’t put him into the equation yet. Skipper Virat Kohli is known for making team changes multiple times, but could go for the same winning combination on Thursday. Let’s take a look at the 11 predicted for RCB: –

Aaron Finch
Aaron Finch got off to a slow start in the first game, but he only needs one big shot to get started, and he can come at any point in the game.
Devdutt Padikkal
Devdutt Padikkal started high, scoring 56 runs in his first IPL game. The southpaw was RCB’s top scorer against SRH, and he could be the best player this season for the franchise.
Virat Kohli (Captain)
India captain Virat Kohli had a bland performance in the first game but will be eager to break the shackles against KXIP.
Villiers AB
AB de Villiers’ energetic fifty at the end of innings proved to be the key in RCB’s victory and once again proved why he is a match winner in his day.
Josh Philippe (week)
Josh Philippe is a young activist who made a mark in the Big Bash League. I could get another chance here before RCB thinks about bringing in Parthiv Patel as a goalkeeper.

Washington Sundar
Washington Sundar had little to do in the first game and did not have a chance to argue for himself to be eliminated or elected again. You will likely get another shot at KXIP.
Shivam dube
Shivam Dube is known as a young and exciting hitter, but he has also shown how good he is on the ball. 3 overs for 15 and 2 wickets: Dube can really change the game like he did against SRH.
Navdeep saini
Navdeep Saini is one of the key pioneers in the RCB bowling unit, but he has really improved as a fielder and that is becoming a major factor in making him a regular feature of RCB.
Umesh Yadav
Umesh Yadav can take ground with the new ball, but he can still leak some runs. It should contain the flow of execution at startup.
Dale steyn
Dale Steyn wasn’t the best against SRH either, but his presence may be a dominant factor against KXIP. A Steyn vs Gayle Contest: Take My Money!
Yuzvendra chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal was his best in the first game: he chose three wickets in the first game against SRH and gave only 18 runs. She has already put her name on the hat of the Purple Cap contenders.
