CricTracker Fan Poll: Best IPL side after the auction

2. Royal Challengers Bangalore: 17%

Royal Challengers Bangalore just pipped SRH as they garnered a total of 17% votes which is mostly due to the huge fan base which they possess. When the team has players like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Brendon McCullum, they will surely be touted as one of the most dangerous teams. It was surprising that they didn’t even bid for Chris Gayle who has won them so many matches in the past with his whirlwind knocks. Though they’re looking a formidable unit this time around after bolstering their bowling attack.

Chris Woakes, Umesh Yadav, Nathan Coulter-Nile are the few of them and will be assisted by the likes of Mohammad Siraj, Navdeep Saini and Aniket Choudhury. RCB used RTM card for Yuzvendra Chahal which was expected and they also backed Pawan Negi to do the job for them this year. However, the only question is can they deliver as a team now after being lacklustre last year. The silverware has always been away from RCB and they would be eyeing to achieve it in the eleventh edition of the league.
