RCB fans are touted to be very forbearing as they fill up the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium with the sea of red even after suffering disappointments and heartbreaks year after year. But last season was horrible for them. RCB lost their first six games and eventually finished last in the points table. The star-studded line-up has failed to win a trophy in twelve seasons even after reaching the final thrice!

After holding a wooden spoon at the end of the tournament, a change somewhere in the management was inevitable. RCB sacked Gary Kirsten and Ashish Nehra and added the Trans-Tasman duo of Mike Hesson and Simon Katich in the coaching staff. Skipper Virat Kohli has received a lot of flak for his captaincy and choice of playing eleven, not only in IPL but also for the national team in limited-overs cricket. Kohli has been criticized for not showing enough faith in players and dropping them just after a few under-par scores.

The date of the IPL 2020 Auction has been announced. On 19th December, for the first time, Kolkata will host the bidding war. Teams have already been involved in trading the players to bolster their squads. Here we look at five players who RCB should buy in order to mend their shortcomings of last season.

Eoin Morgan’s name is drawn in the same bracket as Bobby Moore and Martin Johnson; men who led England to their maiden World Cup title in Cricket, Football, and Rugby respectively. The left-hander took the captaincy from Alastair Cook months before the 2015 World Cup. After a mortifying tournament in Australia, Morgan redefined the English cricket and brought the World Cup trophy ‘home’.

As a part of that process, the English board allowed its players to be a part of the IPL. Morgan already has been part of three different IPL franchises. It is a rare known fact that Morgan made his IPL debut for RCB in 2010. Then he was bought by KKR in 2011 before SRH bought him in 2015. He was part of SRH’s title-winning squad in 2016. Morgan has amassed over 5000 T20 runs playing in different leagues around the globe.

Although Morgan hasn’t produced any notable performances in his IPL career, his form in the T20 Blast and his astute mind will tempt the Bangalore franchise to bid for the Irishman. As there is a possibility of either Moeen Ali or Marcus Stoinis to shift at the opening slot, Morgan could play the role of a finisher. Morgan and De Villiers threaded a couple of enthralling partnerships in the Blast playing for Middlesex. RCB fans would wish to see their camaraderie at the Chinnaswamy as well.

In the 2019 edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League, Chepauk Super Gillies claimed their second title by defeating Dindigul Dragons in the final. Chepauk’s right arm pacer Ganeshan Periyasamy was adjudged Man of the Match in the final as well as Man of the tournament. While defending a lowly score of 127, Periyasamy took two wickets in his first over and 3 wickets in the last over to end with figures of 5/15.

He bagged a total of 21 wickets in 9 matches, which is the highest for any bowler in the four-year history of the tournament. Apart from his heroics in the TNPL, his bowling actions have attracted the eyes of the cricket fraternity. He has a slinging action much similar to Sri Lankan maestro Lasith Malinga.

RCB’s death bowling will once again be under the radar. Dale Steyn is at the fag end of his career. Moreover, the Indian pacers have been guilty of throwing away matches in the death last year; the scars given by Russell and Pandya haven’t completely healed yet. In that case, RCB could buy an unorthodox bowler like Periyasamy and would be hoping to bring the change in their fortunes with his distinguished death bowling fame achieved in TNPL.

A towering sturdy body, an action akin throwing fireballs, and the blazing Australian attitude; Mitchell Starc is a stock of flesh more than enough to intimidate any world-class batsman. The Sydney-born pacer is a World Cup winner and the leading wicket-taker in two consecutive World Cups.

Starc has played for the Bangalore franchise previously. He was bought before the 2014 auction by RCB. The left-hander accumulated 14 wickets in 2014 and 20 wickets in 2015. Starc hasn’t played an IPL game for four years. His last appearance in the IPL was in May 2015 against CSK.

Last year he pulled out of the auctions as the Australian board wanted their star pacer to be fit and fresh for the World Cup and The Ashes. A year before that Kolkata Knight Riders bought him for INR 9.4 crore but he couldn’t appear owing to an injury. This price is a testament to Mitchell Starc’s caliber even when he plays only a handful of limited-overs cricket throughout the year.

Dale Steyn, who himself has a career plagued with injuries might not be fit for the entire season. Hence having Mitchell Starc in the squad would be a wise selection. RCB would want to gain the services of the Aussie speedster to eliminate their bowling woes and end their title drought. With any luck, Mitchell Starc and Dale Steyn bowling in tandem would be divine stuff for cricket fans, not so for the batsman.

The latest sensation in the stimulating world of T20 cricket is Somerset’s wicketkeeper opener, Tom Banton. He was the second-highest run-scorer in the T20 Blast 2019, just behind teammate Babar Azam. Banton scored 549 runs in 13 innings, striking at 161 and averaging 42. His scintillating a 52-ball-hundred against Kent brought him into the limelight.

Mentored by former English opener, Marcus Trescothick, Banton was Somerset’s second-highest run-scorer in the victorious Royal London One-day Cup campaign. He piled up 454 runs in 11 innings at an average of 41. The 20-year-old grabbed England’s Young Player of the Year award. On the back of his impressive performances, he has received a national call up for the T20Is against New Zealand.

After signing up for Brisbane Heat for Big Bash League, it is expected that IPL franchises will also bid for the Somerset striker. If Virat Kohli decides to push himself at number three, or Parthiv isn’t providing fast starts, Banton could be a useful addition at the top of the RCB line-up.

26 years of age and already considered a T20 specialist; Chris Green is a right-arm off-spinner who takes part in franchise cricket all around the world. He plays in the Big Bash for Sydney Thunder, Toronto Nationals in T20 Canada tournament, Multan Sultans in PSL and for Guyana Amazon Warriors in CPL. Born in Durban, Green moved to Australia and was selected for New South Wales in the absence of Nathan Lyon and Stephen ‘O’ Keefe.

In the 2015/16 season of The Big Bash, he was pivotal with the ball as the Thunders went to win the title. In the CPL 2019, Green partnered with veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir and has stomped their team through to the final, remaining unbeaten in all the 10 group stage matches. Green has picked up 13 wickets at a miserly economy of 6.29.

In the era where off-spinners are treated with utter disdain, Green’s economy of 6.7 in 74 T20 matches is outstanding. The returns of Washington Sundar and Pawan Negi with the ball weren’t inspiring last season, and therefore the RCB management would want to add an X-factor in Chris Green to their squad. Green with his experience of playing in T20 tournaments could blend with Yuzvendra Chahal and be the bowling combination to watch out for.

<p>26 years of age and already considered a T20 specialist; Chris Green is a right-arm off-spinner who takes part in franchise cricket all around the world. He plays in the Big Bash for Sydney Thunder, Toronto Nationals in T20 Canada tournament, Multan Sultans in PSL and for Guyana Amazon Warriors in CPL. Born in Durban, Green moved to Australia and was selected for New South Wales in the absence of Nathan Lyon and Stephen ‘O’ Keefe.</p>
<p>In the 2015/16 season of The Big Bash, he was pivotal with the ball as the Thunders went to win the title. In the CPL 2019, Green partnered with veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir and has stomped their team through to the final, remaining unbeaten in all the 10 group stage matches. Green has picked up 13 wickets at a miserly economy of 6.29.</p>
<p>In the era where off-spinners are treated with utter disdain, Green’s economy of 6.7 in 74 T20 matches is outstanding. The returns of Washington Sundar and Pawan Negi with the ball weren’t inspiring last season, and therefore the RCB management would want to add an X-factor in Chris Green to their squad. Green with his experience of playing in T20 tournaments could blend with Yuzvendra Chahal and be the bowling combination to watch out for.</p>
