The Jamaican superstar Chris Gayle came in as an injury replacement for Dirk Nannes mid-way into the 2011 edition of the IPL, and thus kickstarted an association with the franchise that saw the West Indian rise to new heights in the T20 format. For three consecutive seasons, i.e. 2011, 2012 and 2013, Gayle amassed more than 600 runs (608, 733 and 7...
KL Rahul found his mojo during the stint at RCB. While Rahul missed the 2017 season due to injury, his most productive outing came in 2016, where he scored 397 runs at a strike-rate of 146.89 including four fifties. Rahul was bought by Kings XI Punjab in the 2018 IPL Auctions after RCB decided not to retain the Karnataka batsman. The decision came ...
At No.3 will be Virat Kohli. He was the sole player to be retained by the franchise in the 2011 auctions and Kohli responded with 557 runs in the season and was soon fast-tracked to the captaincy post after Daniel Vettori retired. After a few indifferent seasons, in which he scored 165 and 246 respectively, Kohli came into his own as he crossed the...
At No.4 comes, Mr 360, AB de Villers. With an inherent ability to play shots all around the ground, De Villiers on his day can reduce the bowlers to a mere machine. He can play both, the role of a power hitter as well as of a sheet anchor as and when the situation demands.
One of the perennial RCB rockstars, Ross Taylor comes in at No.5. Taylor represented RCB from since 2008, but his finest moment arrived in the 2009 season in which he accumulated 280 runs at a strike-rate of 134.61. Taylor went unsold in the 2015 auctions and have been an absentee from the tournament since then. #6 Manish Pandey Manish Pandey annou...
One of the best all-rounders in the history of T20 cricket, Shane Watson will fulfill the duties of a genuine all-rounder. Watson has the ability to consistently bowl. He has a penchant to hit big shots. Watson, who played for the franchise in 2016 and 2017, gives a much-needed balance to the squad.
The first RCB skipper to take his side to the IPL finals, there is no way an RCB XI can be completed without the inclusion of Anil Kumble. Kumble, who played for the franchise from 2008 to 2010, featured in 42 matches and accounted for 45 wickets at an economy of 6.58.
Yuzvendra Chahal has grown by leaps and bounds as a wrist-spinner in the past two seasons. While bowling on a small ground, Chahal's strength lies in tossing the ball up whilst inviting the batsmen to go for the big shots. In 70 IPL matches, Chahal has claimed 82 wickets at an average of 23.56.
Following an impressive domestic record, Sreenath Arvind earned his maiden IPL contract by RCB in 2011. Arvind played 14 games for RCB and picked up 14 wickets which included a 4-wicket haul. He may not be a big name in World Cricket, but Arvind chipped in with some consistent performances for RCB during his stay with the franchise. Arvind, whose b...
The highest wicket-taker in RCB history, Vinay Kumar was one of the consistent performers for the franchise. During his 5-year stint with the franchise, Kumar accumulated 80 wickets, including a 4-for against CSK in 2010, but had a disappointing season while turning out for KKR in 2018.
