The reason why one finds the selection of Bangalore Royal Challengers side surprising is that while they have invested heavily in foreign players, they have not done a great job in getting the Indian players into their line-up.
For one, their captaincy decision was affected heavily by that. That is, with Virat Kohli being the only Indian player in the squad who can maintain his slot and show some captaincy material, it is only natural that the leadership had to go to someone from abroad.
Daniel Vettori is not a bad choice, just that having a foreign captain occupies one foreign slot out of the maximum allowed four. Plus Vettori has had his issues with his bad back and that could push him back a little in terms of captaincy.
Then again, for a foreigner to understand his team takes time and the tournament itself is going to last not more than one and a half month, by when, things could go dramatically wrong for the side.
For the rest, the time will tell whether it was a reason able decision.
