Royal Challengers Bangalore

Finch played for Bangalore in 2020 scoring 268 runs in 12 games at an average of 22.33 and a strike rate of 111.20. The franchise has retained a good core of players during the retention window.

They have good depth in their batting and bowling. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis will lead the batting while Josh Hazlewood, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Mohammad Siraj will lead the bowling group. There is an outside chance of the franchise buying Finch once again.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai made some big releases including veteran all-rounder Kieron Pollard. They have three overseas slots to fill in with a remaining purse of 3 crores. Despite his recent lack of runs, Finch is an experienced T20I cricketer and one of the most experienced T20I players. Mumbai can fancy buying him in the upcoming auction and Rohit opening with Finch at the other end.
