Kohli should send Dinesh kathik at No.3 instead of develliers as one more wicket in the form of Develliers will be costly for the team in case openers lose early. Or even Safraz should be fine. It is not to protect but to preserve the key batsman
All the star performers of RCB are useless under pressure. Gayle has been tackled well and AB Devillers also has been shown the stand many times on duck. Mumbai bowlers were clueless enough not to reign Devillers otherwise RCB would not have made it to top four.
Bangalore's middle order so far have not fared to the potential excepting some individual performance. Karthik has not clicked and in this crunch game he has to bring in his experience. In Rajastan case excepting Rahane, Watson, Sanju other players including Smith have not fared very well. But the bowling is good it will be interesting contest in Pune
