Aaron Finch

A side that has been dependent a lot on Virat Kohli and Ab de Villiers to deliver the goods, Aaron Finch getting in the batting line-up of RCB will definitely make with the X-Factor for the franchise. RCB’s new recruit this season, Aaron Finch will join the franchise as their specialist opener.

In the past few seasons, RCB has been struggling to find a balanced opening combination. With Finch, Virat Kohli and his men will be hoping that the Aussie skipper can lay the perfect platform for the rest of the batting order. On his day, Finch can become an unstoppable batsman.
