It is just unbelievable to accept the fact that RCB haven't won the title even once. With the plethora of talents at their disposal, a title this time around is a must for Virat Kohli and his men.

RCB have often been criticized for turning a blind eye toward their mediocrity in the bowling department. They tried to solve it last season by buying Tymal Mills for a huge sum of 12.5 crores. However, the Englishman failed to match up to the expectations and ended up as a failed purchase.

This season, they would like to have another look at the options available in the fast bowling department. Nathan Coulter-Nile could be one of the key picks among the quicks for RCB. Coulter-Nile had a wonderful stint with Kolkata Knight Riders, picking 15 wickets from eight games for them.

The Australian can regularly clock 140 km/hr and likes to keep things tight in the final overs. He had an impressive economy rate of 8.04 last season. This is amazing considering the fact that he bowls most of his overs inside the powerplay or in the final stage of the innings.

Coulter-Nile is equally adept at bowling yorkers and has a whole set of variations up his sleeve. Overall, he could be a wise buy for the men from Bangalore.
