Bangalore Royal Challenger’s Team | IPL 5 Possible Team Line Up | 2012 RCB Team Analysis| Bangalore Royal Challenger’s 11 Players

Bangalore Royal Challenger’s Team Preview

Bangalore Royal Challengers had a dream run in IPL 4 with Chris Gayle coming to the party in almost every match. This time too Bangalore would be riding high with high hopes on this West Indian all-rounder who can destroy the career of a bowler with ease.
  
Bangalore had been successful in getting and retaining some of the best twenty players of the world in their lineup. Coached by Ray Jennings and captained by Daniel Vettori the Bangalore would be hoping for their first title victory this time in IPL 5.


Let us start with their foreign player line up;


  • Tilakaratne Dilshan
  • Chris Gayle
  • A B Devilliers
  • Daniel Vettori
  • Dirk Nannes
  • Andrew Mcdonald
  • Muthaiah Muralidharan
  • Charl Langeveldt
  • Luke Pomersbach

It is quite evident that the first 4 players in the list are top contenders for the post of 4 foreign players and the rest will have to wait as replacements in the benches for some time. Only chance would be if Daniel Vettori decides to bring in Muthaiah Muralidharan in to the playing eleven to get the full due of his experience. But that will definitely cost Dilshan or Devilliers their place in the lineup.

Indian players
Let us see the list of Indian players who definitely gets into the playing eleven purely with their name value.

  • Zaheer Khan
  • Virat Kohli
  • Vinay Kumar

So now 7 players in the squad let us see who all may come into the final line up?
Wicket keeper problems do not arise as Devilliers can handle the job pretty effectively.

Bowling
With Daniel Vettori handling the spin department with good support from Dilshan and Gayle Bangalore seems to be strong with various spin bowling options. Also this will cause no Indian spinner may get his due in the bowling line up of the team. In pace bowling department Zaheer and Vinay Kumar select themselves. The third seamers spot will be between Sreenath Aravind and Abhimanyu Mithun.


Batting
So that leaves 3 players from Indian batting /all rounders to get their chance in the lineup.
Let us see the options

  • Mohammed Kaif
  • Cheteshwar Pujara
  • Saurabh Tiwary
  • Mayank Agarwal
  • Arun Karthik
  • Asad Pathan
  • Raju Bhatkal

This seems to be grey zone for Bangalore royal challengers as no one can predict with ease. But chances for path an. Tiwary and Agarwal cannot be rules out.


  1. Chris Gayle
  2. Tilakaratne Dilshan
  3. Virat Kohli
  4. A B Devilliers
  5. Saurabh Tiwary
  6. Mayank Agarwal
  7. Asad Pathan
  8. Daniel Vettori
  9. Vinay Kumar
  10. Zaheer Khan
  11. Sreenath Aravind
