#9 Tim Southee
RCB’s pace bowling unit was boosted further by the addition of Tim Southee. The Kiwi pacer is an experienced lad as he has been a prominent member of New Zealand’s squad in all 3 formats. He swings the new ball miles and is equally effective at the death with the yorkers and the changeups.
The franchise lost Nathan Coulter-Nile due to an injury and Corey Anderson was slotted in as a replacement. Southee might get some competition from his countryman for a place in the XI but in the initial days, the team might opt for Southee for his better bowling skills as there is enough firepower in the batting.
