Another player RCB could have signed as a replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile was Lasith Malinga. The IPL legend was surprisingly not picked by any team in the 2018 auctions.

The Sri Lankan has a terrific record in the IPL and is a brilliant bowler at the death. RCB conceded a lot of runs during the last 5-6 overs of games and he could have helped them restrict the opponents to less than what they eventually got.

Playing him instead of Colin de Grandhomme or Chris Woakes in a couple of crunch games could have made things better for RCB and these slight changes could have easily got them a win or two – something that could have got them into the Top 4!
