Royal Challenger's Bangalores' (RCB) latest addition to the team Vyshak Vijaykumar, an Indian medium-pace bowler who specialises in bowling the middle overs and also sometimes the tough death overs; could be fruitful for the team this season.

The presence of Vyshak as a bowler during the middle overs of a cricket match can undeniably be advantageous for the team, as taking wickets during this phase can provide a significant edge. With his natural pace and ability to generate bounce off the pitch, he can pose a tough challenge for the batsmen.


The 25 year old, young seamer from Karnataka, had the best economy rate among the top 10 best pacers in the SMAT 2022 season, finishing with an economy rate of 6.31 RPO and taking 15 wickets in 10 matches. 

While he was second in economy rate among the top 5 wicket-takers, only behind Maharashtra's Satyajeet Bachhav (6.30 RPO), he had an impressive record in T20 matches, taking 22 wickets in 14 matches at an economy rate of just 6.94.

He had made his debut for Karnataka during the Vijay Hazare Trophy in February 2021 and played his first Ranji Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for the senior team within a year. 

Blessed with raw pace, he has also developed skills like the knuckleball and a terrific yorker that have made him Karnataka's go-to bowler in the powerplay and at the death, and now hopefully for RCB as well.
