My Views-
It is almost certain that RCB will back their stronger side, which is batting. They will pack their playing XI with Gaylestorm, AB de Villiers, Yuvi and all rounder Albie Morkel! RCB's captain, Virat, is in fine touch and he will look to extend his dream-run. In middle order,talented uncapped player Vijay Zol will be eager to prove his great batting abilities. Parthiv Patel will keep the wickets and open with the destructive Christopher Henry Gayle!
RCB's bowling is there to be exploited by the other teams. They have the pace but not the accuracy and consistency that Virat will be hoping for. Varun Aaron, Ravi Rampaul, Mitchell Starc, Ashok Dinda will try to be consistent. Because there will mostly be only one place on stake for Virat to chose from Ravi Rampaul & Mitchell Starc and they will be competing against the magician Muralidharan. On the low and slow pitches in UAE, Shadab Jakati will come in handy with his left-arm orthodox spin bowling. And if some bowler is not in form or is injured then they have some good young talent in Sandeep Warrier, Abu Nechim, Harshal Patel, left arm "googly" bowler Chahal. So, on paper other teams will look to exploit RCB's slightly weaker bowling!
According to me, RCB's playing XI will mostly be as follows:-
- Chris Gayle
- Parthiv Patel
- Virat Kohli
- Yuvraj Singh
- AB de Villiers
- Vijay Zol
- Albie Morkel
- Muralidharan/Starc
- Varun Aaron
- Ashok Dinda
- Shadab Jakati
