The 30-year-old quick was one of the seamers in the KKR squad that bowled out Royal Challengers Bangalore for a meagre 49 last season. Nathan Coulter-Nile picked up 15 wickets from 8 games in 2017 and bowled phenomenally well in the ODIs of the Indian tour of Australia last year, finishing as the leading wicket-taker with ten scalps to his name.

With the batting line-up looking quite settled, RCB will be keen to assign him the leadership of their bowling attack to get the right balance they have been struggling to get thus far.

Having a specialist new-ball bowler in Chris Woakes and slender Indian bowling, RCB will put the onus of bowling at the death more on the Australian.
