The Royal Challengers look a solid mix of experience and youth. Dravid, Kumble, Chanderpaul, Kallis and Boucher have played over 500 Test matches between them but they remain untested in the T20 variety.
They are particularly meaty in the allrounders department with several players doubling up as bowling or wicketkeeping options.
One of their advantages would be not having a lot of players from Australia and New Zealand. It means they will have a full-strength squad, more or less.
