5 players RCB need to sign to win IPL 2019

E
Royal Challengers Bangalore

#1 Joe Root

England v Australia - 1st Royal London ODI

Yet another Englishman on the list, Joe Root, despite being one of the finest all-format batsmen in the world, went unsold in the 2018 auction. He would be the perfect addition to an RCB side lacking middle-order stability.

Kohli's side endured numerous batting collapses this past season and Root's presence would help rectify that. Moreover, he can also take over the captaincy duties to take the pressure off Kohli.

Root averages 39 in T20Is and strikes at 128. Equipped with the ability to play spin and pace equally well and no discernible weakness in his game, he could be the missing piece in the RCB puzzle.

Which player do you think RCB should target ahead of next season? Let us know in the comments.
