Impact players

Cricket Mo Bobat: Australia’s fast-bowling all-rounder Cameron Green could be an ideal fit for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the middle-order powerful batter role, believes director of cricket Mo Bobat. On Monday, IPL announced that Green was traded to RCB from Mumbai Indians, who had retained him when the retentions deadline was at 5pm on Sunday.

"After doing back and forth, we agreed for the cash trade, but only at the eleventh hour and it was an exciting finish. He's the ideal fit for us in that middle-order power role. He's a high-quality, skillful and powerful batsman. He's got the game against both pace and spin. He's got international experience across formats and I'm sure he will enjoy batting at the Chinnaswamy."

"So, seeing him do that will be really exciting. He's also a fantastic bowler and he bowls with pace and bounce, which were certainly attributes we were looking for particularly in our home conditions. Let's not forget what an exceptional fielder he is. Some of the catches he has taken in recent times fielding at gully is seriously impressive," said Bobat in a RCB Bold Diaries video.
