RCB
RCB could bring in Isuru Udana

Dale Styen's forgettable campaign against SRH and KXIP might urge skipper Virat Kohli to give left-arm seamer Isuru Udana a call-up.
Besides, all-rounder Chris Morris still remains unfit.
Also, Umesh Yadav, who has conceded quite a few runs of late, could make way for Mohammad Siraj.
Probable XI: Padikkal, Finch, Kohli (C), de Villiers, Philippe (WK), Dube, Sundar, Navdeep, Steyn/Udana, Umesh/Siraj, Chahal.

There is little to alter in the MI as the side projected a comprehensive show against KKR.
Skipper Rohit Sharma too found his form after stumbling against CSK in the tournament opener.
It will be interesting to see how he uses fast bowler Trent Boult against Kohli.
Probable XI: Rohit (C), de Kock (WK), Suryakumar, Saurabh, Hardik, Pollard, Krunal, Boult, Pattinson, Chahar, Bumrah.

If South Africa's Dale Steyn (97) plays the game, he could join the 100-wicket club.
