It was widely expected that the RCB would spend all their money on acquiring the services of English all-rounder Ben Stokes. The team boasts of the some of the biggest names (arguably the biggest three – Kohli, AB & Gayle) and Stokes would have been another one in that ilk.

When Stokes did go under the hammer, it appeared that the RCB might look to buy him before they pulled out when his price starting shooting up above the 10-crore mark.

They instead went for Stokes’ compatriot, left-arm seamer Tymal Mills. Mills comes with a reputation of being an absolute star in the T20 format with an arsenal of variations in his armour.

The side has been looking for someone who can stem the flow of runs at the death while picking up crucial wickets and have banked upon Mills to be that guy for them.
