Tymal Mills failed to replace Starc

The English left-arm seamer was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for a massive Rs.12 crore during the 2017 IPL auctions, making him the second most expensive buy of that season. Mills impressed everyone with his bowling variations in the T20 series during England’s tour of India prior to the 2017 auctions.

This performance was instrumental for his lucrative IPL contract. In the five matches he played for the RCB during the tenth edition of the IPL, Mills took five wickets at an economy of 8.57 and best figures of 2/31. A year later during the 2018 IPL auctions, his fortunes changed as he went unsold.

Matches: 5, Wickets: 5, Economy: 8.57, Best figures: 2/31
