#2 Royal Challengers Bangalore- Navdeep Saini

Delhi's young fast-bowling sensation in Navdeep Saini was roped in by Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the eleventh edition in 2018. A predominantly swing-bowler, Saini has often acquired the news for his consistency and the ability to bowl to turn games in the domestic circuit for his state team. It was only due to the volumes of his performances that he was a part of India's one-off Test squad against Afghanistan but unfortunately couldn't break into the playing XI.
Saini who was bought for a whopping amount of INR 3 crores, didn't get an opportunity to feature in the XI in any of the IPL games for RCB. This might just tempt the franchise to release the fast bowler considering their fast bowling stocks which are usually high due to the presence of many International cricketers. This could be the blessing in disguise for the talented pacer to show his skills for any other franchise even in the shortest version of the game against some of the best in the world.
