Mohammad Siraj is expected to lead the RCB bowling attack this season. Siraj has 59 wickets in the IPL at an average of 33.07 and did not have a good season last time.
But considering his effectiveness with the new ball and in the death overs, Siraj is a top pick for your RCB vs MI Dream11 Prediction team.
