Despite being a star-studded team, RCB haven’t been able to lift the IPL title but will like to end their quest in UAE. Along with Kohli, De Villiers, Aaron Finch, Moeen Ali and Parthiv Patel will have the onus to deliver with the bat. At the same time, Dale Steyn, Umesh Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will handle the mantle in the bowling department. Notably, many experts like Aakash Chopra and Brad Hogg and have backed Kohli and Co to clinch the title in UAE. Hence, it will be interesting to see if the Bangalore-based side will defy the odds or will fall short again. Jason Holder-led Tridents have won one out of their two games.
