- Royal Challengers Bangalore:
It was obvious that the void left by Mitchell Starc’s absence would have to be filled at any cost. That was done in the form of England’s latest pace sensation Tymal Mills, who was brought for Rs. 12 crores. Roping in talented pacer Aniket Choudhary was another optimistic move and now the pace bowling department looks decent with Mills, Choudhary, S. Aravind and Adam Milne slotting in. Spin wise as well, the lion-hearted Yuzvendra Chahal now has Pawan Negi for the company.
Batting wise, Royal Challengers are way ahead of other teams with the likes of Chris Gayle, Kohli, De Villiers, KL Rahul and Watson in. All in all, the Royal Challengers have ticked all boxes but on the bowling front, they are heavily reliant on Tymal Mills. An off day for Mills could have consequences for this team while defending totals.
