Missing out on Kane Richardosn’s swift bowling action, Adam Zampa’s entry into RCB will definitely strengthen the team’s spin attack alongside Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, Moeen Ali and Pawan Negi.
Also, this is Zampa’s second IPL but first with RCB. His maturity and experience is a bonus for the team and well, the slow pitches at the UAE will aid him too. Now, the young squad is aiming for a better tournament and giving out their best performance in every match.
