Top 10 signings of IPL 2016

Travis Head to Royal Challengers Bangalore

How the Royal Challengers got him for just Rs. 50 lakhs only God knows. But what we are sure of is that none of the franchises can blame God once they see Head perform.

In a star-studded team, it is highly unlikely that he would get the nod ahead of Shane Watson, Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Mitchell Starc—their first-choice four foreigners on an ideal day—but once he does, it will be very hard to put him back on the bench.

The young Australian has an average of nearly 30 and a strike-rate of 150 in the 22 T20 innings that he has played in his career. He is one hell of a hitter of the ball and RCB might actually win the tournament if this young man is used wisely.
