RCB is much better team than teams like deccan chargers, Kochi Tuskers, Rajasthan Royals, Kings XI etc. They can easily match the strength of Pune Warriors, KKR, DD, CSK. Their main problem is not getting the combination right. Gayle, Dilshan, AB Devillers, Virat, Saurabh Tiwary, Pujara, for batting n Vettori, Zaheer for bowling r match winners. RCB can easily make an entry to top 4 if they performs to their potential. Off course, MI is the strongest of all n DC the weakest of all teams.
So DD wont fear as DD and CSK are most consistent team in all 3 edition of IPL i will expect both defentely will Top the table in upcoming matches.......

I have been saying from the beginning, RCB is the team to beat this year. With the inclusion of Gayle, they are far more formidable now. DD is surely the weakest link here.
IPL-4 is now more than 4 weeks old and the teams ranking has gone completely topsy-turvy and haywire compared to what it was at the end of 2nd week. Perhaps at the end of this week we may get clear idea about the teams those are not likely to make it to the semis. Only MI have stood apart from the rest whether it is batting, bowling or its sharpest ever fielding and look certain to make it to the top four. RCB now look better side with joining of Gayle but his consistency have been a question mark ever. And what is E/Morgan doing in KKR ? In fact except for DD and DC who seem to have fallen too much behind , for the remaining seven sides, it seems to be a free for all with every team beating every other team. Thus many teams are likely to end up on identical points with run rate deciding the group standing. Given this scenario Batting heavy strategy will give better chance of finishing relatively higher. Make close to 200 runs and win big or make the odd loss to be of small margin batting first. While batting 2nd use the strong batting side to get big win if the opposition gets out cheaply.
Check the Gyle history...he is very inconsistent batsman..if he played one good inning after then he becomes out of form. So now his bat will not sound atleast 3-5 matches.
If you see the batting line up - Chris Gayle, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Saurab Tiwary, Cheteshwar Pujara, RCB should have scored 200 plus in every match if not chasing.

Be practical... 1. Gayle out from his national side... 2. Dilshan a decent batsman, not blaster.. 3. Virat again a decent batsman, but not great for T20 format.. To score 200 in every match, are you crazy man.. Why you do not think they they are facing the best bowlers of the world.
