IPL 2019: 3 reasons why this season might be devastating for RCB

#2 Unreliable overseas players

Shimron Hetmeyer may need some time to settle

Overseas players bring a lot to the table when it comes to IPL. The overseas players in a team can make or break the team. The contribution of the four overseas players in each match has to be top notch.

These four need to be specialists in their respective areas. It is a dismal fact that RCB has unreliable overseas players except the tried and tested Ab de Villiers. Consider it for a moment, their overseas players except ABD do not have much IPL excellence.

Moeen Ali and Colin de Grandhomme just have a handful of good performances in the previous season. Shimron Hetmeyer and Heinrich Klaasen, although exceptional talents are yet to give a string of consistent performances in the IPL.

Marcus Stoinis and Nathan Coulter Nile may not play much throughout the season due to their international and World Cup commitments. Tim Southee is a talented bowler, however, there may only be a little help from the other bowlers to compliment him.

Who would have guessed that such would be the fate of a team that let go of Shane Watson, Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum and Quinton de Kock in the last two years?
