9. Umesh Yadav
The Indian pacer’s choice in the RCB lineup will be a tossup between Umesh Yadav and Navdeep Saini. Even though Saini is playing T20is for India, we expect Umesh Yadav to start. Since he gave some crackling starts to RCB by picking wickets in the powerplay last year.
It is proven that Umesh is clearly more of a new ball bowler than a death bowler. Which is why Umesh is expected to be a sure starter in the side for his ability to pick wickets. His economy rate has been on the downside since he bowls a couple of overs in the backend of the game.
But in powerplays, Yadav’s economy has been below 8 over the years.
