Showed strength in India
The New Zealand team came on a tour of India earlier this year. This team played a three-match ODI and T20 series of the same number of matches on the tour of India. He was the highest wicket-taker for his team in the three-match T20 series. Apart from this, he played a brilliant century in the first ODI against India and scored 140 runs. He had a great partnership with Mitchell Santner and put India in trouble. This partnership had snatched the victory from the mouth of India but Team India somehow managed to win. Bracewell will be seen playing in IPL for the first time.

If Michael Bracewell’s career is seen so far, then what every team needs in T20 is seen with this player. The strike rate of the batsman matters a lot in T20. Michael Bracewell has scored 113 runs in 16 T20 matches at a strike rate of 139.50 and scored a half-century. He can also prove to be a useful bowler for the team. He has 21 wickets in T20. He is an off-spinner and can prove to be very useful for RCB.
