Middle Order: Rajat Patidar, Mahipal Lomror, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik
Rajat Patidar missed out on playing the 2023 IPL due to injury but in the 2022 season, he was very impressive with the bat, where he went on to smash an unbeaten knock of 112 runs from 54 balls against Lucknow Super Giants in the eliminator game and also scored 58 runs off 42 balls against Rajasthan Royals in the 2nd qualifier game.
Mahipal Lomror in the last IPL season was seen playing important cameos with the bat by scoring 34 runs off 18 balls against KKR and an unbeaten 54 runs off 29 balls against DC respectively. He could unleash his full potential in this IPL season if he gets a consistent run in the side.
Glenn Maxwell has been in the form of his life by smashing the fastest century in the World Cup, a double century in a run-chase, and also registered another century against India in the recently concluded 3rd T20I match. Maxwell scored 400 runs in the 2023 IPL season at an impressive strike rate of 183.48
Dinesh Karthik was disappointing with the bat in the 2023 IPL season, but prior to 2022, he was brilliant for RCB as a finisher with an impressive numbers of scoring 330 runs from 16 innings at an impressive strike rate of 183.33. If Dinesh Karthik returns to his old 2022 form then he will be a dangerous batter as finisher in the upcoming IPL season.
