5. Gurkeerat Mann

The middle-order batsman Gurkeerat Mann is not a newbie even though he hasn’t played that many matches in the IPL. He’s tasted international cricket and has played for India in the 2016 Australia ODI series.
He played just 3 matches last year for RCB but in the final match, he played a brilliant knock of 65 runs. The knock was enough for RCB to retain Gurkeerat for the 2020 IPL season.
Gurkeerat can also chip in with his off-breaks if needed as he’s a decent part-time bowler. We expected RCB to stick him at number 5 since he can contain the innings like Kohli out in the middle and also can attack in the latter half of the match.
