Corey Anderson:
The New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson was a replacement for Nathan Coulter Nile, who was bought by RCB for INR 2.20 crore. So when Bangalore needed a replacement for Coulter-Nile they readily bought Anderson for his base price of INR 2 crore.
Anderson had been quite a find for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the previous editions. His innings of 95 of jus 44 deliveries against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a must-win the match for Mumbai remains the highlight of his IPL career.
However, he wasn’t at his best during the ongoing tournament. Anderson was quite sedated with the bat.
In the three matches he played so far for the Royal Challengers, Anderson conceded runs at an economy rate of more than 12. He wasn’t at his best with the bat either. The southpaw was dismissed quite cheaply in all the three matches.
