For once RCB seems to have got it right team wise. If you look at the purchases RCB made in the recent auctions - Morris, Finch, Steyn, Udana, Phillipe, Deshpande, Shabaz - You see the trend? The management has concentrated on filling the gaps in bowling and opening batsman options. Smart! This reduces the famous dependence on Kohli and DeVilliers.

Virat Kohli - He is determined to score well in this IPL and hell bent on winning the championship.
AB DeVilliers - It is still a wonder with his talent why RCB could not win a final. This will be his last opportunity and he can do it.
Aaron Finch - The batsman in form - he will be the most important contributor as an opening batsman .
Moeen Ali - As a middle order batsman and an all-rounder, he is going to play a great role as a finisher, He has done it against Australia in the recent T20 series and he can repeat it.
Shivam Dube - A very promising middle order all-rounder, he will play most of the matches and show his talent.
Partiv Patel - Good enough to score 20 to 30 runs in addition to wicket keeping.
Phillipe - May not get many chances to replace Parthiv Patel.
Dale Steyn - The spearhead of the pace attack, but he has to keep himself fit for the crucial matches late in the tournament. Hence needs sufficient rest matches.
Umesh Yadav - The main bowler of RCB and will play most matches. If he bowls with a controlled length, he can control the run rate and bowl the death overs too.
Chris Morris - The 3rd important bowler, he is quite reliable as he puts in all his effort into his bowling.
Saini - A good bowler but tends to waver in length and leak runs.
Mohammad Siraj - has pace but no direction and no control. He was a big contributor for RCB losing 3 matches in IPL2019.
Y.Chahal - The best spinner ! And in addition, the in form Adam Zampa make the bowling unit very strong. They in combination can destroy any batting line up.
We also have young promising batsmen Gurukreet and Shabaz Ahmed.
