They also bagged the service of Australians Aaron Finch and Josh Philippe.

Dream11 IPL 2020: Hyderabad vs Bangalore players to watch out for

The Hyderabad vs Bangalore squad for Dream11 IPL 2020 has some of the most prominent T20 players. For Hyderabad, David Warner and Jonny Bairstow will be key players. The two explosive batsmen also have some game time under their belt as they were a part of the recently concluded England vs Australia T20 and ODI series. Their performances will be key in determining the result of the match. It is likely that both of them are available for the clash. Rashid Khan is another crucial player who will be lethal on the Dubai pitch, which is conducive to the spinners.

For Bangalore, a lot depends on Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, who have been their batting's mainstays for over a decade now. Along with the two RCB veterans, Aaron Finch, who recently captained Australia against England, will be a player to watch out from the Bangalore squad. Among bowlers, Yuzvendra Chahal will be the key for Virat Kohli on a turning Dubai pitch. Adam Zampa could also partner Chahal should RCB go unconventionally for two spinners, which could make Kohli tempted to play Moeen Ali in the playing 11.
