IPL 2020 Auction: 3 areas of concern for RCB and who they should target

#1 Quality seam bowler

Will RCB re-sign Mitchell Starc?

One of the biggest issues that has plagued RCB from the past few seasons is the inability of their bowling attack to stem the flow of runs in the slog overs. While Yuzvendra Chahal has managed to hold a tight noose over the batsmen in the middle overs, the RCB pacers haven't been able to maintain the momentum towards the end.

With Washington Sundar making a mark as a useful powerplay overs bowler and Umesh Yadav capable of tormenting the batsmen early on with some serious pace and swing, RCB could do well with a pacer who can be a game-changer in the slog overs.

While RCB do have two more seamers in Navdeep Saini and Mohammad Siraj, both of them leaked runs at the death, a pressing issue which led to the side's ouster from the league stages.

Certainly, there are quite a few pacers who will be a part of the auction this time, including ex-RCB players in Mitchell Starc and Dale Steyn. While the T20 format certainly does not favour the bowlers, the experience that these international stars bring to the forefront could potentially prove to seal the gaping holes in the bowling unit.
