IPL Auction 2020: One position each team should look to target

Royal Challengers Bangalore: Overseas fast bowling all-rounder

Bangalore will be on the lookout for a fast bowler, maybe a Sam Curran

Royal Challengers Bangalore released as many as 12 players, retaining only Moeen Ali and AB de Villiers from the international contingent. The release of several high-profile releases will cause Mike Hesson to spend wisely and construct their team around the retained core.

The emergence of Devdutt Padikkal has given them a good alternative in the opening position with Parthiv Patel causing the greatest batsman of our era, Virat Kohli to play in his natural position of #3. With ABD and Moeen, Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar occupying positions 4-7, RCB seems to have a very stable middle and lower-middle order.

Reaching positions 8-11, however, is where Bangalore seems to have a chink in the armour. With Yuzuvendra Chahal, Umesh Yadav and one of Navdeep Saini or Mohammed Siraj, RCB has a very strong 9-11. At #8, however, Bangalore will require a pacer who can hit the ball cleanly to lend the required balance to their squad.

Possible Options: Sam Curran, Chris Morris, Chris Jordan
