Honestly our top order looks ultimate but bowling department is the problem... I don't think Stark bowl this season, due to his injury... but badree can be handful...

Badree is also on an injury but he might play few games.

Because so much injury in our bowling, it is good give most of the matches to our local bowlers... Aravind, Aaron, Chachal, Iqbal... and other two bowling options are Watson and Wiese...

This would be my team.

Watson
Gayle
Kohli
ABD
Rahul
Binny
Sarfaraz Khan / Kedar Jadhav
Chahal
Milne
Aravind
Aaron/ Abdulla ( if pitch suits spin)

Other options are-

Harshal Patel ( if binny doesnt perform)
Mandeep Singh
Badre(if he is fit)
Richardson ( if Milne doesnt perform )


One of the concern is, Where will Rahul play? He is a top order batsman and he is not a big hitter. He will come in middle and we need a hitter then. I dunno whether Rahul can do the job. But we need him in the team as he is a wkt-kpr. ABD can keep, but he should field instead.

Watson is a big addition to our team. His all round abilities and experience is amazing. Even though Binny hasnt been performing well, he is a decent player in this format. So, that's a positive too.

And Gayle can't play all the matches. He wont be fit enough. So, we can bring in Travis Head ( who is a wicket keeper) and known for big hitting shots. And he can play after ABD and Rahul can be promoted to the opening slot.

Harshal Patel who is also an all rounder can be added into the team which will give us extra bowling option. But, we will have to leave Kedar Jadhav and Sarfaraz. So, it will be a challenge for kohli to bring on the perfect combination. Looking forward to it and hopefully we win this tournament. I will be more than happy if we go to the finals also.

Really excited to see watson and gayle opening. I hope kohli doesnt send watson somewhere in middle like Aussies did to strengthen the middle order. Watson likes to open and we like to see him in the top.

^ You messed up with your lineup there.

My lineup will be:
Shane Watson
Chris Gayle
Virat Kohli
AB De Villiers
Mandeep Singh/ Sarfaraz Khan
Kedar Jadav
Stuart Binny
Adam Milne
Yuzvender Chahal
Varun Aaron
Srinath Aravind

We have 6 bowlers with two additional/part-timers. Kedar Jadav is a wicket-keeper and a hard hitter of the ball and a good finisher as well.

We don't need another spinner because Gayle can bowl a couple of overs. KL Rahul will be a tough player to stick in this lineup. If Gayle is rested for few games then Rahul can open with Watto.

We can bring in Harshal Patel as a replacement to Aaron or Arvind if they don't play well. Same with Milne and Richardson.

It'll be heartbreaking to see Weise warming the bench this season. But after drafting in a world class allrounder then there is no place for him.

Bowling is the only concern for RCB. If they find their hero in the available bunch of bowlers then there is nothing to stop them from winning the title.

Royal Challengers Bangalore's ideal line up-

Shane Watson
Chris Gayle
Virat Kohli
AB de Villiers
Mandeep Singh
Stuart Binny
Kedar Jadhav
Adam Milne / Samuel Badree
Varun Aaron
Srinath Aravind
Yuzvendra Chahal

RCB need to be a little flexible. They need to float with their batting line up. KL Rahul is simply a backup keeper and won't play. They have a good off spinner in Rasool waiting in the wings if needed. I'd play Milne in Bangalore and Badree outside. Watson and Binny are good seamers if required.

The depth and quality in the RCB ranks is unbelievable. Let's see if they finally break their duck.

First time in IPL history, RCB will have home and away jersy.
RCB unveiled the new jersy yesterday eve.

Home:


Away:

 

[zwarrior]

RCB's New Jersey looks like sheet. They should have atleast included the gold colour.

 

[Till Valhalla]

The title is very much misleading.Royals was the first team to have home and away jerseys.

First time in IPL history, RCB will have home and away jersy.

This is correct.

 

[greymatter776]

The new jersey ain't that good as previous one.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Mallya always goes for batsmen and all-rounders

Don't think its Mallaya anymore. He resigned as director (thanks God !!)

 

[Aalay]

Yes, Mallya is now the Godfather of RCB.

 

[Pinch hitter]

black not suit RCB... it is good if we kept our normal Red,Blue & gold... new look is more of a match of new logo...

 

[Yash.]

Sorry but KKR will win.
