Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) became the eighth IPL team Aaron Finch has played for over the years. Skipper Virat Kohli gave him a long string of chances despite failing every time.

The Australian opener registered just one half-century in 12 games and accumulated just 268 runs. He averaged just 22.33 despite scoring at a strike rate of a meager 111.20. Finch looked like a pale shadow of himself in IPL 2020 and the fact that he kept getting opportunities made his failures look even worse.

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra said in a video, "Aaron Finch was the biggest disappointment for RCB this season. They had put huge stakes on him and stuck with him for a long time as well. You expect the Finch hitting from him."

"He got a whole lot of chances to bat. So no one can say that he played in this team and was not given the chances. You can say that for Moeen Ali, that he was in and out of the team but Aaron Finch played all the matches, I mean he played 10-12 matches at the start," he added.

Chopra went on to say that the responsibility on Finch was huge because if the young Devdutt Padikkal had failed, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers would have been under pressure to score runs every game.

He said, "The form was not seen at all. Neither the form was seen nor the runs. He was even dropped at the end and then brought back again because Joshua Philippe did not do a great job either."

"But you had more expectations from Aaron Finch. Because imagine if Devdutt Padikkal was playing well from one side and Aaron Finch had been playing well, then the pressure and responsibility would have been less on Virat and AB de Villiers," the 43-year-old added.
