Royal Challengers Bangalore seems like a team on a mission as they have made some good purchases for the remainder of the tournament that will resume from 19^th September with a tie between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. They have found the final piece of the puzzle that saw them signing England fast bowler, George Garton.

After onboarding the likes of Dusmantha Chameera, Tim David and Wanindu Hasaranga as replacements for Daniel Sams, Adam Zampa and Jhye Richardson, they hired the services of English fast bowler, George Garton to replace Kane Richardson.

George Garton has impressed the world with his fiery brand of fast bowling that has left the world reeling and stunned in his limited first-class career until now. The young man took the English selectors by storm after his debut season for Sussex.

Garton also represented England in the U-19 World Cup in 2015 and claimed a wicket on the very ball with an absolute peach. He is a left-arm fast bowler and managed to blend pace and swing in perfect proportions.

What would the addition of George Garton mean to RCB?

Given his southpaw stance, it makes his swing even more menacing, especially with the youngster coming round the stumps, as that doesn’t allow the batsman to comprehend what exactly is about to come.

The young man from Sussex has played 23 first-class matches and claimed 53 wickets with an astonishing economy rate of 4.04. He is the deadliest when it comes to the shortest format of the game, with Garton claiming 44 wickets at a decent economy rate of 8.26.

The English fast bowler can also bat for a while and this will help Bangalore to bolster their tail with a couple of late blitzkrieg chipping in from the paceman. They already have the likes of Kyle Jamieson, Glenn Maxwell and Dan Christian, making a formidable trio of foreigners. The addition of Garton can come in extremely handy for the Challengers.

A Twitter user compiled the dismissals that were forged by RCB’s latest buy, George Garton. The video focuses on the wickets that he claimed by kissing the timbre of the batsman or, simply, by castling them clean.
