Hope they get into the place where they lost from past 2 years.

 

[abhi_jacko]

I don't think its about luck. Their bowling has suked in almost every season, even though their batting lineup has been just mind blowing

I am torn between my feelings for this team. I would love to see the team success on the back of strong performances by Kohli, Dhoni. But I hate their team owner, Vijay Mallaya. That fat c*nt !

 

[Sahil 7]

All I can say is very good powerful squad batting line up looks most dangerous then an other teams hope yuvi will find form in this tournament and stop criticism on him. But big problem here is we are missing a quality spinner seam line up also looks good but spinning option looks weak

 

[Earagav]

quality spinner

jakati has got some good ipl experience.
he has performed very well for the CSK

 

[Champagnepapi]

Will Tanmay Mishra count as a local or oversea?

 

[Sahil 7]

jakati has got some good ipl experience.
he has performed very well for the CSK

No he goes for plenty of runs and I seen that when he was playing for csk

 

[Akhil 12]

I think, Albie morkel is not playing in some matches this year, and the team owners have selected another player, "Nic Maddinson" (he is an all rounder).
Mitchell Starc, Ravi rampaul, sandeep, varun aron, as seamers.

Muttiah Muralidharan is there, as a quality off-spinner for RCB!

 

[Dipak]

AB, Virat, Gayle, Yuvraj - That's one hell of a batting order!

 

[yashwanth kumar]

Will Tanmay Mishra count as a local or oversea?

He will be counted as domestic player as he holds Indian passport. I just cant wait for the season to start

 

[Prithvi]

I don't think its about luck. Their bowling has suked in almost every season, even though their batting lineup has been just mind blowing

Our home ground is Chinnaswamy which offers the least to a bowler. Buy the bowlers like Dale Steyn, Mitchell Johnson, they will be hammered ruthlessly. The strategy is very nicely built, as we will be playing more home matches, its better to have a side where there are big names in batting. But needless to mention, RCB kept on failing at high times, because of poor bowling. So, with addition of Mitchell Starc, Varun Aaron, Ashoke Dinda and Shadab Jakati to the Ravi Rampaul and Muralidharan, I feel bowling department looks decent, although I am worried of Morkels place in the team because of OS restriction.

 

[Sahil 7]

If we leave albie out then our batting line up will b little bit weak. so I want albie to be in the team
