All-rounders are the heart and soul of a T20 team. The varied skills they bring to the table are often underappreciated, but they go a long way in determining the success of a side.

In the last few years, RCB have lacked quality all-rounders but this year they have filled this void in the form of Marcus Stoinis. RCB traded Marcus Stoinis from Kings XI Punjab in exchange for Mandeep Singh.

Playing for Melbourne Stars in this year’s Big Bash, Stoinis made contributions with both bat and ball. With the bat he amassed 533 runs in 13 games, and with the ball in hand he picked 14 wickets.

For Australia, he often bowls in the death overs and has a deceptive slower ball up his sleeve. Kohli will also look to use Stoinis at back end of the innings – an area in which RCB have been found wanting over the years.

Stoinis will lend balance to the RCB side and will look to quench their thirst for an IPL triumph.
