RCB strengthened bowling department but inclusion of Chris Gayle is most significant.
Zaheer Khan is famous to bowl worst first overs. He single handedly spoiled India’s hopes with his worst bowling in 2003 Cricket World cup final against Australia. Against top teams, if you bowl 20-run first over, it is dififcult to bounce back.
