-Ab De Villiers has been the most consistent performer from RCB as his batting average is near to 44 in 20 innings against the MI.
-Quinton de kock has smashed 306 runs at an average of 51 in just 6 innings in H2H & also he’s failing from two matches so expecting a top knock in this game.
-Yuzvendra Chahal has taken atleast a wicket or two against the opponent so he will surely give 25 points with bowl.
-Kieron Pollard will be a good punt to have in the team as he has scored runs at an average of 30 & 35 in H2H and at the Venue respectively.

-Rohit Sharma has batted at an average of 30 in H2H but his venue revord isn’t good still making him captain considering his top form.
-Virat Kohli has struggled to score runs at this venue but he might make up for it & and for his team so making him VC.
-Aaron Finch has scored runs at an average of 51 & 26 at the venue & in H2H matches so he can be another good punt to have in the team since his selection % has gone down.
-Hardik Pandya has scored 185 runs at an average of 92 in 9 innings.

– Dropped Rohit & Virat from my GL combo since their failure chances are upto 50% considering their venue record which isn’t very promising.
-Kieron Pollard & Finch are the two batsmen who have been consistent in H2H & at the venue too so making them C VC.
-Hardik Pandya can be another good C VC pick especially while batting first.
-Took three best bowlers as they have experience of playing at the venue.
