Kane Richardson – Royal Challengers Bangalore

The Aussie pacer was bought for 4 crore rupees in the 2020 IPL auction and was largely expected to solve RCB’s death bowling woes. But with his wife giving birth to their first child, Kane Richardson decided to give this IPL a skip.

RCB named leg spinner Adam Zampa as the pacer’s replacement. It will be an advantage for Virat Kohli-led side with the UAE pitches assisting spinners.
