The Royal Challengers, Bangalore had a dismal outing during the first season of the Indian Premier League, finishing a dismal seventh.
Captained by Rahul Dravid, the team was touted as a Test side which was not capable of adapting to the swashbuckling cricket employed in the Twenty20 Format.
Vijay Mallya, the team's owner, would like to turn the table this season with some quality trade-ins.
