IPL 2018: 5 players RCB should pursue next year to fill voids in their team

#2 Basil Thampi

Thampi and Umesh Yadav would form a potent bowling combination

Basil Thampi is one of the best bowlers in domestic cricket in India and is a part of an impressive bowling attack in Sunrisers Hyderabad. He is among the best T20 bowlers in the country and will be a great addition to any team.

Hyderabad has plenty of ammunition in the fast bowling department with the likes of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Siddarth Kaul, Sandeep Sharma and T Natarajan in their fold. With such an impressive line up of fast bowlers, the team is unlikely to use Thampi effectively.

Thampi is a brilliant bowler and it is only fair that he gets to play a few matches for some other team. RCB is on the lookout for a quality death bowler and if they could get the services of Thampi it would help the side perform better.

Sunrisers Hyderabad struggled with their batting and hence RCB can exchange a quality batsman like McCullum for a bowler like Thampi and it would help both the teams solve their problems.
