India and Sunrisers Hyderabad opening batsman, Shikhar Dhawan on Monday, said that the absence of Virat Kohli from RCB’s starting XI is a bonus for his team and that they should look to exploit in the opening game against them. "It's good for us that he is not there for us. But still, there are big guns on their side. Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, and Shane Watson are there. We are preparing well, and we are on our toes actually to start on a winning note," he further added. Notably, 2016’s runner-up RCB face defending champions SRH in the opening fixture of this year’s tournament.
