IPL 2019: Five players Royal Challengers Bangalore should get in the IPL trade

#1 Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal had a disappointing IPL 2018

The biggest talking point in the Indian domestic cricket since the last year or so, Mayank Agarwal, had a disappointing IPL 2018. Representing Kings XI Punjab, Mayank totalled only 120 runs in 11 matches with his highest score being 30. The 27-year old has scored a mountain of runs in the domestic cricket, and getting back on his home pitch might serve best in the interests of both him and the team.

Mayank Agarwal knows the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore like the back of his hand. He has scored a ton of runs there and will be eager to set the record straight in the upcoming IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore can benefit immensely by having the local boy onboard.

The best feature of Agarwal is that he can not only bat in the middle order but can also come out to open the innings. The flexibility will allow RCB to set Kohli and AB De Villiers in the best batting positions and not keep fiddling with them. Agarwal’s skills and capability of adapting to the game situation will improve the batting standards of the team by a manifold.
