IPL 2018 Auction: 5 overseas players Royal Challengers Bangalore should target

The IPL is entering its second decade and the most exciting news so far has been the return of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals after a suspension of two years.

RCB are looking to start afresh in IPL 2018 and have roped in India's 2011 World Cup-winning coach, Gary Kirsten, and Ashish Nehra, as their batting and bowling coaches respectively. They will be looking to refresh the side and use their RTM on the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and KL Rahul, perhaps, instead of Gayle.

With 1,122 players from different countries registering themselves, here is a list of 5 players who are the ideal choices for RCB.

5) Mitchell Starc

Starc was part of the RCB franchise since 2014 but played only two tournaments for them. He missed the entire 2016 season as he was recovering from a foot injury. In 2014, he took 14 at 28.71 apiece, with an economy of 7.49, and in 2015 he claimed 20 wickets at 14.55 apiece with an economy of 6.76.

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mitchell Starc had parted ways ahead of the 2017 IPL season. RCB have always struggled to get their bowling combinations right. Starc could be the solution to that problem.
