Team analysis
ESPNcricinfo editor Varun Shetty wrote in his team preview that the Royal Challengers "might struggle once more with their balance" despite the presence of several all-rounders in the squad and predicted that the team would make it to the playoffs if Kohli has "another season of big runs".[5] According to the Indian Express, the team's strength is its batting lineup while the unavailability of overseas all-rounders for the entire season could be the weakness. The preview also stated that Kohli, whose captaincy was recently criticized by former cricketers, "will be eager to prove them wrong".[6] The Times of India remarked that "Bowling, especially in the death overs, continues to be a cause for worry for RCB."[7] News18 tipped Shimron Hetmyer as one of the five first-time overseas players to watch out for in the season,[8] while the Hindu named Shivam Dube among the uncapped Indian players "who could create ripples" at the tournament.[9]

gollark: Which I disagree with, yes.
gollark: If it became possible to grow babies externally or conveniently move them, that might be an acceptable solution too.
gollark: To rethingy: I think that, regardless of whose body or creation or whatever it is, the person who is actually carrying it and bears the associated issues of having it glued to their circulatory system and such should get to decide whether to keep doing that.
gollark: A fetus contains some of your genes but ~all of its materials come from what the mother eats/processes, so that isn't relevant either.
gollark: I'll rephrase a bit or something.
