Here is RCB’s predicted XI against KKR:

Virat Kohli (c): The RCB captain has not been among the runs in the past few games and now the conversation is starting whether he should continue to change.

Devdutt Padikkal: Padikkal has been superb in this tournament and had a rare miss against PBKS. He will be eager to fire against KKR.

Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell has missed out in the past couple of games and he will look to make up for it on Monday.

AB de Villiers: AB de Villiers has proven to be the key for RCB this season with the bat and he can turn the game around at any moment.

Sachin Baby: Rajat Patidar's poor run with the bat so far may prompt Kohli to give a chance to Sachin Baby.

Washington Sundar: Washington Sundar is yet to showcase his all-around qualities. However, he deserves another chance to prove his worth and will replace Shahbaz Ahmed.

Daniel Sams: Daniel Sams was tremendous with the ball, but he can surely pitch in more with the bat.

Kyle Jamieson: Kyle Jamieson is expensive but he also takes wickets at regular intervals. Till he keeps on taking wickets, he fits in the XI.

Mohammed Siraj: Mohammed Siraj has been the best bowler for RCB this season and he would hope to do the same against KKR.

Yuzvendra Chahal: Yuzvendra Chahal know the art of unsettling partnerships. He continues to be in the playing XI for tonight’s face-off.

Harshal Patel: Harshal Patel has been one of the many finds of this season and he also showed he can hit a few sixes against Punjab Kings.

RCB Predicted XI vs KKR: Virat Kohli (c), Devdutt Padikkal, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers (wk), Washington Sundar, Sachin Baby, Daniel Sams, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chaha
