IPL 2018: Four reasons why RCB will sneak into the playoffs

#2 Lower order batting woes solved

Collin De Grandhomme

Cricket pundits and commentators have always said that RCB looks top heavy and shallow at the bottom. Again this season, the addition of DeKock and Mccullum has strengthened the top order but along with it, they picked up Colin De GrandHomme who is an all-rounder.

The team management missed a trick by not including Collin De Grandhomme in the initial games. His addition to the team is valuable as it has lent solidity to the lower order. In one of the crucial matches, he plundered 25 runs off the last over and, that was one of the major reason why RCB won against Mumbai. His bowing along with his athletic fielding makes him one of the most valuable players for the team.

In the race to qualify for the playoffs, the all-rounder from New Zealand will have a pivotal role to play.
