IPL 2020: 3 players who can replace Dale Steyn at Royal Challengers Banglore

#1 Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc has played for RCB in the past

Mitchell Starc possesses the ability to trouble batsmen with his quick pace and bounce. He would be on the radar of all the sides because of his extraordinary talent. However, one team which requires him the most is RCB. The Virat Kohli-led outfit has a plethora of quality batsmen but they lack a reliable name in the bowling unit. As they have released Dale Steyn and Tim Southee, they need a death bowler in their line-up.

Starc has already played for this franchise in the past and the Aussie knows the wicket in Bengaluru. He was an integral part of RCB in IPL 2014 and 2015. In fact, the New South Wales-based pacer was their primary bowler in the 2015 edition.

The Australian played took 14 wickets in IPL 2014 in 14 matches at an average of 28.71. This number increased to 20 wickets from 13 matches in IPL 2015, with the average coming down to 14.55.

RCB should try to acquire him as he could be a like-for-like replacement and even an upgrade on Dale Steyn.
