IPL 2018: 5 T20 specialists who have not yet played a single game in this year's IPL

1) Tim Southee

The 29-year-old New Zealander is known for his swing bowling and his knack of picking up wickets with the new ball makes him a key player in any team. Along the way, he has improved his bowling at the death and uses change in pace to good effect.

In the limited opportunities that he has got, he has picked up 22 wickets at an economy rate of 8.31. Bowling has always been RCB's Achille's heel. They have conceded a lot of runs in the death overs and in the last match against CSK, RCB leaked runs at the end and could not defend a score of 205.

To solve this problem, The Red Army picked up Tim Southee at a price of ₹ 1 crore. As usual, this year too, RCB are leaking runs at the death overs and it is costing them matches. With such a fragile bowling attack, it is surprising that RCB has not yet drafted him into the side.
