Tbh the bowling line-up looks terrible once again.

Tbh the bowling line-up looks terrible once again.

+1

Apart from Steyn & Chahal (at some point Saini) I don't think our bowling would be effective this year too...

My ideal lineup would be:

Finch
Parthiv
Kohli
ABD
Dube
Morris
Sundar
Chahal
Saini
Steyn
Yadav

Siraj alone is enough to make up for the rest. Don't know why they retained him. He is not a T20 bowler by any means.

I have lot of hopes on Simon Katich and Mike Hesson. Maybe they saw something in Siraj which we aren't able to see.

It doesn't matter if we release him as there are no other good bowlers out there. In case there is any injury to Yadav/Saini, they can use Siraj.

Hope so, he will do well next year.

Most Probable PLAYING XI will be from these combinations:
Aaron Finch / Joshua Phillipe
Parthiv Patel / Devdutt Padikkal
Virat Kohli ()
AB de Villiers
Shivam Dube
Chris Morris / Moeen Ali
Washington Sundar / Pawan Negi
Umesh Yadav
Dale Styen / Isuru Udana / Kane Richardson
Yuzvendra Chahal
Navdeep Saini / Mohammad Siraj

 

[PaceMaker]

Adam Zampa comes in RCB for Kane Richardson!

 

[zwarrior]

Adam Zampa comes in RCB for Kane Richardson!

Maybe they considered the UAE pitches and picked up the leggie !

 

[Bevab]

Zampa is an odd choice, I don't expect him to play that much with Chahal and Sundar already in the team.

 

[Neptune]

I really do think if rcb start conceding 11 per over in the death, that they should play 2 overseas seamers, one will be morris and the other will be udana as he is better equipped to bowl at the death than Steyn

 

[Prithvi]

Here is our Anthem for this season! I liked the song

 

[Prithvi]

The squad we have, there are endless possibilities to build a playing XI around the squad we have. There is only a three man core, that is Virat, AB and Yuzi.

I hope we get to build on more to the core- I'm interested to see how Padikkal plays, and I so wish he and Josh cement their places as openers in the squad for coming decade or so, just like how Kohli and AB did since 2011.

With respect to bowling, we should accommodate more overseas bowlers. That is success mantra of any IPL side.

I would back ourselves to play with the following XI in 2 - 3 games and see how it pans out:

Devdutt Padikkal
Parthiv Patel
Virat Kohli
Shivam Dube
AB de Villiers/Moeen Ali/Josh Philippe
Washington Sundar/Pawan Negi
Chris Morris
Isuru Udana
Umesh Yadaav
Dale Steyn
Yuzvendra Chahal

This creates a wonderful bowling attack, and with Kohli and one of AB de Villiers/Moeen Ali/Josh Philippe alongside Morris and Udana, batting isn't very weak either. On top of it, Devdutt Padikkal is just unknown. For all that we know, the probabilities are very high that he can emerge out as someone like (or rather better than) Manish Pandey and Virat Kohli.

Saini?

 

[Prithvi]

Saini?

I'm still considering him as a "Domestic" and "Prone to runs"-esque bowler. If he is able to deliver, it opens up room for adding one overseas batsman in place of Steyn, who needs rest in periodic intervals.
