CB Society Don't Just Dream, Live it !!

My views on what i feel are the team's strength, weaknesses, and how long can they run into the tournament.

Strengths: BATTING(need to make that even bigger ). RCB's batting is monsterous and they probably have a better batting lineup than many international teams could have. In Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, ABD, and Yuvraj Singh, they have 4 of the most destructive hitters in the world. Don't be surprised if you see a 250+ total this time around, specially on the flat Chinnaswamy pitches. They don't care setting up massive totals or chasing big ones up to demorialize opponents, although Kohli prefers the latter one. Not to forget they also have a wonderful keeper/batsman in Parthiv who is no mug with the bat either and can anchor the innings if Gayle and Kohli fail collectively. 

Weakness: No. 6 & 7 spots and bowling. Assuming the big 4 bat at 2,3, 4 and 5, the numbers 6 and 7 need to provide some much needed impetus towards the end of the innings if needed. Not having a solid Indian All-rounder (Although Yuvi can bowl) might hurt them a little. Apart fro that, the bowling lineup should consist of 2 out of Starc/Rampaul/Muralitharan and hence 8 overs can be secured. However, the rest of the 12 overs must be bowled by someone from Aaron, Dinda, Gayle, Yuvi, Harshal, Ahmed, or someone else (surprise ) 

My starting 11:

Parthiv (wk)

Gayle

Kohli (c)

Yuvi

ABD

Vijay Zol

Mitchell Starc

Ravi Rampaul/ Muralitharan (Depending on pitch)

Varun Aaron

Harshal Patel

Ashok Dinda / Shadab Jakati (Dinda if Murali plays else Jakati) 

IPL Predicted finish: Winners of IPL - 7
