IPL 2019: 3 teams that could be in contention for Mustafizur Rahman 

1) Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Royal Challengers Bangalore once again found themselves unfortunate to have missed out on the IPL title in the season eleven, in spite of having a good squad. They managed six wins out their fourteen league matches last season, thereby finishing sixth in the eight-team standings. They could have made the 2018 IPL playoffs, had they won their final group fixture against Ajinkya Rahane's men at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur. Unfortunately, champion batsman Virat Kohli has to wait for another year to lay the hands on the glittering IPL trophy.

RCB traded Proteas wicket-keeper batsman, Quinton de Kock (INR 2.8 crore) in the IPL trading window to Mumbai Indians and batsman Mandeep Singh to Kings XI Punjab. But the arrival of Aussie, Marcus Stoinis won't add much fire-power to their squad. Stoinis recorded an economy of 10.90 last season picking three wickets and scoring 99 runs in seven matches for Punjab. All-rounders Corey Anderson, Chris Woakes and Colin de Grandhomme let them down with unimpressive performances throughout the 2018 IPL- failing with the bat as well as leaking too many runs, especially in the death overs.

Anderson gave 58 runs in 3.4 overs and managed just two runs with the bat in one of the league matches against Chennai Super Kings at home, as Virat's men lost by five wickets even after posting 205/8 in 20 overs in that high-voltage fixture. Their bowlers failed to complement the batsman, who did a fantastic job to prove the tagline of 'IPL's batting powerhouse' right. In Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, Pawan Negi and Moeen Ali they have ample quality spinners but the pace department needs some major changes. Umesh Yadav provided major breakthroughs throughout the season (20 wickets) and Tim Southee, though at his wicket-taking best was good at the death overs. Barring these two players, almost every RCB bowler failed to control runs at the death as they were taken apart in many of the games last season. A quality death-over specialist like Mustafizur Rahman who is extremely good at pace variations, yorkers, cutters and back-of-the-hand slower deliveries might just be what the doctor ordered for the RCB having already released Anderson and Woakes.
