the duo of Kohli and AB de Villiers is enough to beat any team. In fact ue to presence of these two, RCB has received a great support from the audience.

But they never played as an unit except 2016, when with the 4 centuries from kohli, the team has gone to the final. But I would still go with parthiv as opener instead of kohli.

Parthiv is consistent most of the time and plays with strike rate more than 120-125. Kohli better to come later to give strength to middle order in case of a collapse.

In fact ABD and Kohli are much more dangerous towards end (15-20 overs). Hopefully fans will get ABD playing, though the chance is less as said by you.

Moin Ali is a good card for them as we have seen him playing deadly shots with a good spin option, no doubt chahal will be playing as the main spin option for them. But Chahal can't bat, where as Moin Ali can.

Steyn and Kane Richardson, along with Umesh Yadav looks good at pace bowling department.

So overall they have a good team, except a best keeper (I dont like the keeping of Parthiv a lot). But again they have an big advantage of a good skipper.
