IPL 2019: 3 All-rounders that RCB could target at the auction

#2 Axar Patel

Axar Patel was a vital part of the Kings XI Punjab team ever since he started playing for them, and he is easily one of the best Indian all-rounders in the league. He has been released by the Kings XI Punjab, probably because he was their only retained player last season but didn't perform too well.

Axar's release will now make him a top target for all teams. Indian all-rounders are certainly in great demand, and Axar could be a great pick for a side like RCB.

Under a strong team management like RCB's, the IPL veteran can polish his skills further. Axar's experience can also help mold someone like a Wasington Sundar, and he will certainly be on RCB's radar.
