After 12 disappointing seasons of Royal Challengers Banglore
Can it will the dream season for RCB to pull over the victory and lifting the trophy?

Like every season, the RCB lacks death bowling. The first encounter of RCB is against KKR on 31st March at Bengaluru. The updated squads of Royal Challengers Banglore for the upcoming edition of IPL is

 

Royal Challengers Banglore


They have spent 21.50 Cr this year

Bought
Aaron Finch - 4.4 Cr
Pavan Deshpande - 20 lakh
Isuru Udana - 50 lakh
Joshua Philippe - 20 lakh
Kane Richardson - 4 Cr
Dale Steyn - 2 Cr
Chris Morris - 10 Cr
Shabaz Ahmed - 20 lakh 

Retained Squad: Virat Kohli, Ab de Villers, Moeen Ali, Yuzvendra Chahal, Parthiv Patel, Mohammad Siraj, Pawan Negi, Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dubey, Devdutt Padikkal, Gurkeerat Mann

13 Indian players and 8 Overseas players.

Virat Kohli is the highest run-getter last season scoring 464 runs at an average of 33.14 striking at 141.46 and Chahal is their highest wicket-taker taking 18 wickets from 14 matches. Ab de Villiers also having a good season scoring 442 runs at an average of 44.20 striking at 154.01

This season there are some good purchases such as Aaron Finch and Joshua Philippe who can solve their opening woes. Hoping Kane Richardson and Dale Steyn are going to fill their death bowling issue. Aaron Finch, Joshua Philipe, and Chris Morris are in good form in recent BBL 09. Still, RCB lacks Finishers who'll be their finisher?

RCB spent a lot of money on Chris Morris. Can he able to get in playing 11?
The possible Overseas Players combinations would be Moeen Ali, Ab de Villers, Finch/Philippe, Steyn/Richardson. If Mooen Ali has a bad game, I hope Morris would come in.

The possible 11 is in the hands of Kohli and team management. A good season for RCB can boost Kohli's confidence for ICC T20 Worldcup. Can you predict the 11 by Kohli? It is impossible to predict what Kohli thinks man...

There are a lot of rumors of Virat Captaincy despite his impressive records in Intl cricket. All of them are pointing at IPL when it comes to Virat captaincy. Yes, he didn't win a single cup. Directly coming to point, people, comparing him with Rohit. He is a great captain and won 4 titles for Mumbai. When it comes to RCB, the team isn't impressive. 
If they have a better top-order, they lack in death.
If they have better death, they lack in middle-order.
So, Kohli needs to step-up and finds positives and negatives in the team and use the squad effectively like how MSD uses his squad to win matches.

Also, they have added the best coaches to their sides such as Mike Hesson and Simon Katich. RCB is a completely different side now and I am looking for performances of  Devdutt Padikkal. He is 20 years old and can add great value to the side.

All the best for Royal Challengers Banglore for IPL 2020.

Edit: Adam Zampa replaces Kane Richardson due to the birth of his first child.
