Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has had a poor record in the tournament, as they never won an IPL title despite the presence of various world-class players and talented players in the team.

However, the franchise is looking to change their fortune in the lucrative tournament having signed international stars Chris Morris, Aaron Finch, Kane Richardson, Dale Steyn, Isuru Udana, Shahbaz Ahamad, Joshua Philippe, and Pavan Deshpande at the IPL Auction 2020.

Ahead of the upcoming 13th edition of the IPL 2020, RCB coach Mike Hesson believes that the experience of the overseas players will help his team to perform better in the T20 event.

In a video on RCB's official Twitter handle, Hesson said: “Experience with the overseas player adds something to the change room that something we have looked at.”

Meanwhile, the former New Zealand head coach also said the RCB has talented Indian players at their ranks this time and hopes they will provide a good base to the team in the upcoming IPL 2020.

Hesson signed off by saying, “I think we are fortunate that we got good core in terms of strong Indian players, players that would quite rightfully make the squad in any team that gives you good base we needed to add to that little bit in terms of balancing the budget out with enough competition for places but also replacements if we had injuries that always been a balancing act among Indian players.”
