IPL 2017: Royal Challengers Bangalore's Best Possible XI

Middle Order

Mandeep Singh, AB de Villiers, Kedar Jadhav and Sachin Baby

Mandeep Singh has been an exceptional performer in the domestic circuit. He has done a great job for the top order in the limited over fixtures for his domestic side. He has performed decently well at the bigger stages whenever he has got his opportunities.

He will be followed by Mr. 360 degrees AB de Villiers who is as good as any other batsman at any stage of the match. He too had a superb run in the previous season where he accumulated 687 runs at an average of 52.85 and finished as the third highest run-getter in the league.

Kedar Jadhav will bat probably at number 6 behind Shane Watson. Although he played just 3 games in the last season, he now holds a different stature altogether following his outstanding performances for India. He played some majestic innings that termed him as the potential finisher, something he would be expected to do for RCB too this year.

Kerala batsman Sachin Baby was a regular face in the RCB line up last year. He replaced Sarfaraz Khan in the line up kudos to his superior fielding abilities. Now, with Sarfaraz out of the tournament, Sachin will get his chance again.
