Tymal Mills: RCB’s big buy in the auction
Ad

Bangalore is probably the fifth-most balanced team in the IPL despite being the second highest spenders at the IPL auction. Their batting is in genius hands with Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle and Shane Watson. However, it is the bowling which is a huge problem.

The exit of Mitchell Starc made RCB bid aggressively for England’s Tymal Mills. It remains to be seen if Mills, who has restricted himself only to T20 cricket due to a back injury, will justify the $1791000 price tag. RCB would hope for Indian players like Yuzvendra Chahal and Lokesh Rahul to come good.

New Zealand’s tearaway fast bowler Adam Milne could also be a good option, not to mention the bowling contributions of Watson and Harshal Patel.
