Here's how the Playing 11 of RCB and PBKS would look like
It is after a lot of churning, chopping and changing that Royal Challengers Bangalore have finally arrived at a Playing 11 which is best suited for the conditions. They have three quality spinners and three pacers who are unique and deadly in their own ways.
It is just the form of Virat Kohli that is a cause of concern, but then nothing can be done about it as dropping Kohli would be too bigger a risk to take and there is nobody in that squad that could replace Kohli.
On the other hand, the Punjab Kings did a lot of chopping and changing too to finally arrive at the Playing 11 that they are carrying forward with. To rest Odean Smith and Shahrukh Khan, the players for whom the franchise paid such a huge amount requires a lot of faith in others that have replaced those players and both Jitesh Sharma and Bhanuka Rajapaksa, the replacements have done really well. Once again it is just the form of Mayank Agarwal that is worrying for the franchise.
