Royal Challengers Bangalore - CV Varun
For those who are not aware of who CV Varun is, he is a mystery spinner from Tamil Nadu and was the find of the 2018 Tamil Nadu Premier League in which he was one of the main reasons why his team, Siechem Madurai Panthers won the tournament. He was called up by his state side after his heroics in the TNPL and set the 2018 Vijay Hazare Trophy on fire as he ended the tournament as the second highest wicket-taker with 22 wickets in nine matches at an average of 16.6 and an economy of 4.23.
He is expected to cause a bidding war in the upcoming IPL auction and one of the teams that will look to snap him up is Royal Challengers Bangalore. Spearheaded by Yuzvendra Chahal, RCB's spin bowling options to assist the leggie are Washington Sundar and Pawan Negi. Varun has a lot of variations up his sleeves and can trouble the batsmen with his mystery. If used well, he could be a proven match-winner for RCB.
