Riding high after beating defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in their opening match, Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to exploit the home advantage when they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL cricket match on Monday.
Known to be under-performers despite boasting of devastating batsmen like Chris Gayle and AB De Villiers, the Virat Kohli-led team will look to capitalise on the home advantage in their next three games before they embark on away games.
Gayle, who created a storm with his match-winning innings of 96 against KKR, will be eager to be at his explosive best in front of home fans too.
In fact, the entire batting line-up of RCB is capable of striking fear into the opposition attack. In skipper Virat Kohli and South African swashbuckler AB de Villiers, RCB have the most destructive top-order on paper.
Dinesh Karthik is capable of lending the stability that the volatile line-up needs even though he failed in the opening match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Karthik, who was bought for a whooping Rs 12.5 crore in the IPL 2015 auction, will be keen to prove his critics wrong with something special as he did when playing for Mumbai Indians previously.
In the absence of Mitchell Starc and New Zealand recruit Adam Milne, the hosts bowling looks a tad weak. Sean Abbott was the most expensive among RCB bowlers against KKR as he gave 36 runs in three overs with an average of 12 runs per over.
Abbott and Varun Aaron will make efforts to improve their bowling to fill the gap left by Starc and Milne. RCB also have Indian lad Ashok Dinda to spice up the pace bowling, but it remains to be seen whether he would be picked.
