IPL 2019: Players from each team who played in Big Bash VIII

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Much like the earlier seasons, the mighty RCB squad failed to capture the IPL 11 trophy. Despite being a team with no IPL trophies they still remain popular among the fans.

No wonder they will be more desperate to conquer it in 2019 for their supporters. They added nine players in the auction. Interestingly, two of their players who played in the Big Bash were not within the auction buys yet they didn't play for them in 2018.

Nathan Coulter-Nile (Perth Scorchers)

Nathan Coulter-Nile was recruited by RCB in the IPL 11 auctions. Unfortunately, an injury ruled him out for the entire season. Yet the management retained the reliable bowler.

A recovered Coulter-Nile played for Perth Scorchers in BBL VIII. The Aussie pacer took 14 wickets in 13 innings with an average of 27.14 and an economy rate of 7.45.

The veteran's experience with the ball would be vital for RCB. Coulter-Nile seems to be much fitter than the last time and promises to spearhead the Bangalore bowling attack.

Marcus Stoinis (Melbourne Renegades)

Marcus Stoinis

RCB carried out an exciting move to sign Marcus Stoinis from Kings XI Punjab in exchange of Mandeep Singh. The Aussie all-rounder played 13 fruitful matches for Melbourne Stars.

Stoinis scored 533 runs with an average of 53.30 and a strike rate of 130.64. As a bowler, he took 14 wickets in 11 innings with a bowling average of 16.14 and an economy rate of 8.37.

It is unfortunate that RCB would lose him midway through the tournament due to his National and World Cup commitments. His brief stint should pay rich dividends for them.
