RCB had two IPL winners in their ranks this season in Du Plessis and Josh Hazlewood, who were part of the Chennai Super Kings' triumph last season. But, the duo could not change the fate of their new franchise.
Former skipper Virat Kohli has been part of every season RCB has played in the knockout stages.

Virat Kohli: 310 runs in 15 matches (2 fifties)
Faf du Plessis: 373 runs in 14 matches (3 fifties)
Dinesh Karthik: 225 runs in 11 matches

This season their top performers have been Du Plessis, wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik and spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, while the likes of Kohli and Glenn Maxwell too have stepped up lately. So, these five along with Harshal Patel will be key to RCB's success.
