Indian Premier League 2015: Squad-wise Analysis of Franchises

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE (RCB)

The biggest spenders in this year’s auction, RCB have got some very good players, a great captain, best bowlers but the only thing they miss is an IPL title to their name. They have played 2 finals but have no titles in their cabinet. The only word that comes to the mind for RCB is underachievers.

RCB String Points:

They have 3 of the best batsmen in world cricket in AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle. Now they have added Dinesh Karthik, Rilee Rossouw to their collection as well. With the leadership quality that Virat Kohli possesses, the hunger to win the title and the passion he has for the game, RCB are in the best hands possible hands.

Weak Points:

RCB has one of the most weak bowling attacks in this IPL. They will rely on Indian pacers to provide support to Mitchell Starc and Sean Abbott while there is no other experienced spinner to partner Yuzvendra Chahal in the spin department.

Prediction:

This time RCB can go all the way to winning the title if they play their cards correctly and play to their strength, which is batting.

RCB Squad for IPL 2015:
Virat Kohli, AB de Villers, Chris Gayle, Mitchell Starc, Nic Maddinson, Varun Aaron, Yuzvendra Singh Chahal, Rilee Rossouw, Vijay Zol, Yogesh Takawale, Abu Nechim Ahmed, Harshal Patel, Ashok Dinda, Sandeep Warrier, Manvinder Bisla, Iqbal Abdullah, Dinesh Karthik, Subramaniam Badrinath, Darren Sammy, Sean Abbott, Adam Milne, David Wiese, Jalaj Saxena, Sarfaraz Naushad Khan, Shishir Bhavane
