IPL 2018 Auction: 5 reasons why Royal Challengers Bangalore have all the bases covered

#4 Colin De Grandhomme– The slogger who can bowl

Colin de Grandhomme is not only a devastating player with the bat but can chip in with a few handy overs with the ball as well. While New Zealand rely on Colin Munro to give them the runs in the top-order, the burden of getting runs in the slog overs falls on the shoulders of Grandhomme.

The Kiwi player averages 24.52 in T20s with a gargantuan strike-rate of 168.4 and having him in the team guarantees quick runs in the end overs.

In him, RCB have a player who could power them to wins from seemingly impossible positions, where the required-rate is near sky-high. With 52 wickets from 88 innings, he is also an effective bowler, who could fill up the all-rounder's slot with an over or two in every game.
