Players Who Can Replace Nathan Coulter-Nile
Ben Cutting(Australia)
Cutting has a decent experience in playing IPL and has played for Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Kolkata Knight Riders. He has a deceptive bouncer and is an explosive lower-order batter.In the PSL he had a strike rate of 164.16 playing for Peshawar Zalmi
He could be a perfect replacement for Nathan Coulter- Nile because of his experience
Dasun Shanaka (SRI LANKA)
Shanaka was impressive in the away series against the Indian Team. He scored 124 runs at an average of 124. The Sri Lankan skipper played a magnificent inning of 74 in Dharamshala.
He also bowls medium pace and has 38 wickets. Shanaka has scored 2985 runs in T20. Having performed well in Indian conditions it will be no surprise if RR offers him a contract.
David Wiese(South Africa)
He has played for Royal Challengers in the past and did miracles for RCB. Wiese was part of St. Lucia Kings in the CPL and was very impressive. The veteran has played a total of 289 T20 matches and has scored 3276 runs and taken 224 wickets.
Wiese could return after a long gap if RR offers him a contract.
Hayden Kerr(Australia)
He is an uncapped Australian player and RR can offer him a contract as he is in the bio bubble. Kerr did an excellent job in Big Bash League playing for Sydney Sixers. He is a left-arm fast bowler and right-hand batter.
He bagged 25 wickets in 16 innings and scored 98 runs against Adelaide Strikers.
