As no one has done one so far, I thought I would be the first one to post an IPL story and as RCB are my favourite team I decided to choose them.
Strengths:
Batting is the RCB's main strength with the likes of Gayle, Kohli and De Villers capable of winning a game by themselves at any one point. Add in Roussow (though I'm not sure how much he will play), Karthick and the two youngsters Singh and Kahn and I'm very excited with our batting line up.
Weakness:
Bowling. Apart from Starc I'm not sure who I can trust to keep the runs down and take wickets. Another worrying thing is the lack of quality Indian players. Apart from Kohli and Karthick, no Indian player is a guaranteed starter so next year I'm hoping to get some high quality Indian players.
Prediction:
I'm hoping to qualify to the playoffs but I'm not expecting to win it this year. I think Kohli will be our top run scorer and Starc will take the most wickets.
First up is an away game to Kolkata, who have gone for a spinning pitch so we include three spinners in Abdulla, Chahal and Saxena. Bisla opens the batting with Gayle and our other overseas players are De Villers, Wiese and Starc
