IPL 2019: 8 players who need to impress to seal World Cup spots

#7 Royal Challengers Bangalore - Nathan Coulter-Nile

Coulter-Nile's services were surely missed last season

The Royal Challengers Bangalore have brought together a great squad for this season and one major difference is the return of Nathan Coulter-Nile who was injured last season. The pacer is showing why he's such a highly rated limited overs bowler and is shining as a bowling all-rounder and is suddenly leading the race for a World Cup spot in the Australian squad marginally ahead of Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson.

Coulter-Nile is currently posing a big problem to the Indian batsmen with his variety of slower balls and deceptive tricks along with his quick stock deliveries. His height will be a great factor in England where he can extract more bounce off the surface more than anyone else.

His batting abilities also gives the batting some depth to the tail of the Australian batting order which has always been frustrating for opposition bowlers. In crunch situations like the World Cup, a proven and experienced match-winner like Coulter-Nile will be needed and he'll be looking to make it a sure event with strong performances this season.
