The RCB might have spent a fortune for gaining the services of Kevin Pietersen, but the fact remains that the team still represents one of the most contrasting team combinations in IPL II.
They have explosive players like Ross Taylor, Ryder and Pietersen, but they have still managed to retain players like Wasim Jaffer and Vinay Kumar who are more suited for test cricket.
The RCB has got bowling firepower in the form of Dale Steyn and Kallis but they will be 'complemented' by 38-year-old slow bowlers like Kumble and Joshi who proved extremely ineffective in the last IPL season.
This IPL team is witnessing a captaincy overflow, with Dravid being the dropped captain, Pietersen the new one and India's former test captain, Kumble, all jammed together.
The Royal Challengers present the acutest age differences in their squad and their performance could well depend on how well the squad gels together.
