Best Picks:
Grand League Team 1
We are going with Virat Kohli as Captain and Faf du Plessis as the Vice-Captain of this tea. Virat and Faf are the leading run-getters for RCB and have been scoring bulk of the runs for RCB this year.
WICKET-KEEPERS: Nicholas Pooran BATTERS: Virat Kohli (C), Faf du Plessis (VC), KL Rahul ALL-ROUNDERS: Glenn Maxwell, Krunal Pandya, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kyle Mayers, Marcus Stoinis BOWLERS: Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj
Grand League Team 2
We have dropped KL Rahul from this team owing to his lackluster form, and included Ayush Badoni who played a crucial knock in the last game against PBKS batting at no 3. Also, Ayush is the VC for this GL team.

Grand League Team 3
We are choosing Kyle Mayers as the Captain of this team as he already has four fifties to his name. Our VC will be Mohammed Siraj, the leading wicket-taker for RCB. This team is more of a bowling friendly unit.
WICKET-KEEPERS: Nicholas Pooran BATTERS: Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli ALL-ROUNDERS: Wanindu Hasaranga, Kyle Mayers (C), Marcus Stoinis BOWLERS: Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj (VC), Harshal Patel, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Naveen-ul-Haq
Grand League Team 4
In this composition, we have opted for Glenn Maxwell as our Captain and KL Rahul as the VC. Although Rahul is not in the best if the nicks but if he clicks, he could be fruitful in GL.
