RCB will not have much dilemma on their overseas spots. Except for the selection of the opening pair, where they will have to pick between last season's star Phil Salt and in-form batter Jacob Bethell. Salt has lacked form severely for England in the ICC T20 World Cup.
"I will go with Salt because of the combination they had last year with Virat and Salt. Salt's that explosive 50 runs off 20 balls, trying to get as many as he can. So, I would think they would go with him."
However, he ignored the likes of Jacob Bethell, the English batting all-rounder who was the leading run-scorer for England in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. He also sidelined the bowling options like Nuwan Thushara and Jacob Duffy.

"I don't think Hazlewood will play every game for them. He was being talked about for the World Cup at one stage. So, you would imagine six months later, his body will be in a much better place," said du Plessis, noting that he will not play all games for RCB.
Faf credited Krunal Pandya for RCB's maiden IPL triumph
South African batting legend Faf du Plessis, who led RCB during three seasons from IPL 2022 onwards, bemoaned not having an ideal finger spinner during his stint with the franchise. He credited the RCB management for having picked the all-rounder spinner, Krunal Pandya.
"The only difference that I have picked up is that you need a quality finger spinner, which I wish we had in our time. I remember us trying to trade a left-arm spinner; there are only about three or four in the IPL that are tested and proven," du Plessis added.
