So they have a lot of options. The top five or six are as good as you can have. Faf and Kohli were very consistent last year and Maxi has also become consistent now. He is a very good player and Cameron Green is a gun,&#8221; Chopra said.<\/p>\n<p>The 46-year-old said that anyone who comes on the cease at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, &#8220;regains&#8221; their form.<br \/>&#8220;Look at their batting. You will have Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli at the start. Then comes Cameron Green followed by either Glenn Maxwell or Rajat Patidar &#8211; these five gun batters. If you feel Rajat Patidar wasn&#8217;t in form in Tests, it doesn&#8217;t matter, whoever reaches the Chinnaswamy regains his form,&#8221; he added.<br \/>RCB finished sixth in the last season, winning seven and losing seven matches. 14 points were not enough to secure them a position in the playoffs. The highly popular franchise, boasting popular superstars like Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell etc will be looking to end their trophy drought this year<br \/><span class=\"strong \">Royal
