Live commentary: Bengaluru Bulls vs Tamil Thalaivas, Aug 4, 2017
Bengaluru Bulls predicted line-up
Rohit Kumar (c) [Raider]
The captain came into his own last match bagging a Super 10 and thus led his team by example.
Ajay [Raider]
The raiding duties are shared by Ajay who also carried his form from last season and showcased his worth for the new franchise.
Mahender Singh [Left Cover Defender]
The defender executed three successful tackles in the match against the Titans and will look to continue in the same fashion.
Gurvinder Singh [Raider]
Gurvinder Singh needs to be given an increased opportunity in the attack to bag some raid points for the team.
Ashish Kumar [All-rounder]
The retained player by the Bengaluru Bulls has to still prove the faith that the management reposed in him prior to the auctions.
Ravinder Pahal [Right Corner Defender]
The ankle hold from the 'Hawk' is the most lethal and he will be the real force in the defence of the Bengaluru Bulls.
Sachin Kumar [Left Corner Defender]
He needs to buckle up and showcase his mettle in the tackle for he was not particularly in form in the last match.
Tamil Thalaivas predicted line-up
Ajay Thakur [Raider]
The World Cup star has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders as a captain and will be responsible for the bulk of raiding.
K Prapanjan [Raider]
The former U Mumba recruit was impressive in the attack playing second fiddle to Ajay, he picked up seven points as compared to Ajay's six in the first match.
D. Pradap [All-rounder]
He gave glimpses of his talent in the first match, amassing three valuable points against the Titans and will look to build up on that tally.
Amit Hooda [Right Corner Defender]
The defensive stalwart has yet to showcase his strong tackles and brute strength to full effect in the new season.
C. Arun [Left Cover Defender]
The experienced campaigner provides the much-needed support to Amit in the defence to stop the raiders in their tracks.
Vineet Kumar [Raider]
He is the third choice raider for the team in the absence of Ajay and Prapanjan, as such he gets fewer opportunities to raid.
Vijin Thangadurai [Right Cover Defender]
The young gun needs to showcase his mettle as a defender by executing some key tackles, unlike the last match where he failed to amass a single point.
