During the auction, Royal Challengers Bangalore spent Rs. 15 crore to buy New Zealand pacer, Kyle Jamieson. RCB also bought Glenn Maxwell for Rs. 14.25 crore.

Since Royal Challengers Bangalore’s first match in IPL 2021 is against Mumbai Indians, they will face a tough challenge in the match. Here we will look at 4 overseas players who will be part of Royal Challengers Bangalore against Mumbai Indians in the first game.

IPL 2021: 4 Overseas Players Who Will Play For Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) In Their First Game Of The Season

AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers will definitely be part of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first match against Mumbai Indians. The South African southpaw De Villiers is the most crucial overseas asset for the team. AB de Villiers is a hard-hitting batsman who smashed 454 runs in IPL 2020 with 5 half-centuries. With his ability to hit bowlers all over the ground, AB de Villiers is a very dangerous batsman.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is Royal Challengers Bangalore’s great deal in IPL 2021 auction. Glenn Maxwell is a powerful hitter who can change the fate of the game single-handedly. He has shown great form in the series against India and England last year. Royal Challengers Bangalore will seek to provide enough opportunities to Glenn Maxwell during IPL 2021 and hence he will be another player who will be part of playing 11 in RCB’s 1st match of IPL 2021.

Kyle Jamieson

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s biggest investment in IPL 2021 auction was Kyle Jamieson. The franchise spent Rs. 15 crore for the New Zealand pacer. Jamieson is a tall player who is known for his pace attack. He is playing his first IPL tournament and will have the responsibility to strengthen RCB’s bowling in IPL 2021. Kyle Jamieson is another overseas player who will take the field for RCB in the first match of IPL 2021 against Mumbai Indians.

Adam Zampa

Australian spinner Adam Zampa is a fine spinner and has been part of RCB for the last few years. Since the Indian stadium gives a lot of support to spin bowlers, RCB might play Adam Zampa as the 2^nd spinner in the team. So Zampa will be the 4^th overseas bowler which Royal Challengers Bangalore will play in the first match.
