IPL auction 2020: One bowler that each team would look to sign

Royal Challengers Bangalore - Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc should be targeted by RCB.

Mitchell Starc is undoubtedly going to attract heavy bidding during the auction as many teams will be looking for quality pacers. At the top of that list will be the Virat Kohli-led RCB.

RCB released six of their eight overseas players, retaining only AB de Villiers and Moeen Ali. As a result of their releases, they have a pretty big purse of ₹27.90 Crore and this time, they must ensure that they shell out their cash on a player who deserves it.

RCB's pace bowling department didn't do too well last season as everyone barring Navdeep Saini failed to live up to the expectations. That's where Starc comes in.

The Aussie is in the form of his life and was the highest wicket-taker in World Cup 2019. He has picked up more than 130 wickets in 96 T20s at a brilliant economy of 7.10.

Starc needs no introduction to the IPL, having already played for RCB in 2014 and 2015. He picked up 20 wickets in IPL 2015 at a great economy of 6.76, but injuries stopped him from taking part in the tournaments which followed.

Back to full fitness now and bowling with great rhythm in all formats of the game, Starc should be signed by RCB to give themselves a chance of winning the trophy next year.
