IPL Auction 2020: 3 teams that could target Robin Uthappa this year

#2 Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Despite having a star-studded lineup, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have never managed to win the IPL trophy. The team relies heavily on skipper Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers to score runs and win matches for the side, and that's not exactly a foolproof strategy.

RCB finished as the wooden spoon holders last year with only five wins in 14 matches. Kohli opened with Parthiv Patel, while De Villiers batted as a No. 3 batsman for the most part. That didn't work too well for RCB as they failed to put up big totals consistently. The pressure on the bowlers to frequently defend low scores hurt them big time in 2019.

Uthappa's addition to the RCB batting line-up could help Kohli play as a regular No. 3 batsman. With Uthappa and Parthiv as the openers and De Villiers at No. 4, RCB could have a dominant batting line-up again.

Uthappa is also familiar with the pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium as he hails from Karnataka.
