On a Star Sports show Gambhir said that while there are no such obvious overseas picks for RCB’s starting line-up, Morris would be able to provide finishing touches with both bat and ball. The South African was snapped up by RCB in the player auction last December for a staggering INR 10 crore.
Morris, who represented the Delhi franchise from 2016 to 2019, didn’t quite perform up to his full potential there. In 22 matches, he scored 232 runs and picked up 28 wickets.

One of the biggest concerns plaguing RCB over the years has been death bowling, which is why the team has not been able to win matches despite putting up a ton of runs on the board.
Gambhir, who won two IPL titles with KKR in 2012 and 2014, feels RCB are still a bit batting-heavy. But he added that the RCB bowlers could fare well in IPL 2020 because the grounds in the UAE aren’t as small as the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

If RCB can address their death bowling woes and Chris Morris can bridge the gap between the power-packed batting line-up and the fragile bowling attack, RCB could very well win their first-ever IPL trophy.
