Upon the acquisition of an opener and a middle-order batsman, the main chink in Bangalore will have to be addressed; namely, the lack of a good death bowler. Bangalore's bowling attack currently comprises Yuzuvendra Chahal, Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, and Mohammed Siraj; 3 of whom will be played by Bangalore in all likelihood.

The 4 of them, combined with Sundar, Dube, and Ali give them plenty of options for bowling. None of these players, bar Saini, can bowl all too well in the death. This has been an issue for RCB for a couple of years now, and Hesson and his think tank will definitely look to address it.

The ideal candidate for the Bangalore based franchise will be Chris Jordan. The Barbados-born British cricketer has had a fantastic 2019, taking 14 wickets in 8 games at an average of 12.85 and an economy of 7.55, fantastic figures for any T20 bowler, let alone one who bowls in the death. He's also been prolific in the T10 league, and with Starc ruling himself out of the auction, will definitely be the bowler the Bangalore based franchise go for.
