IPL 2023: 3 bowlers who could replace Reece Topley

Reece Topley has been declared ineligible for the IPL 2023. In the Royal Challengers Bangalore team’s 2018 season opener against the Mumbai Indians, the left-arm fast bowler made his IPL debut. He bowled two overs, but because of a dislocated shoulder, he was unable to finish his quota.

Here are the 3 bowlers who could replace Reece Topley in the IPL.

Matt Henry 

Matt Henry is a New Zealand cricketer who is known for his exceptional bowling skills in T20 cricket. He is a right-arm fast-medium bowler who has the ability to swing the ball both ways and generate pace and bounce off the pitch. Henry is particularly effective in the powerplay overs, where he can trouble the batsmen with his ability to swing the new ball. He also has a deceptive slower ball in his arsenal, which he uses to great effect in the death overs. Henry has represented the New Zealand national team in T20 cricket and has also played in various T20 leagues around the world, where he has been a successful bowler. 

Dushmanth Chameera

Dushmantha Chameera is a Sri Lankan cricketer known for his impressive bowling skills in T20 cricket. He is a right-arm fast bowler who generates good pace and bounce off the pitch, making him a difficult bowler to face in the shortest format of the game. Chameera’s ability to bowl consistently at a high pace and swing the ball both ways has earned him accolades from cricket experts and fans alike. 

He has also developed a reputation for being a wicket-taking bowler and has a good yorker and bouncer in his bowling repertoire. Chameera has represented the Sri Lankan national team in T20 cricket and has also played in various T20 leagues around the world, where he has been a successful bowler. He was a part of the Lucknow franchise in the last IPL and had been a mainstay for them until injury ruled him out. 

Dominic Drake

Royal Challengers Bangalore may want to sign Dominic Drakes as another capable left-arm fast-bowling option for the IPL 2023. Drakes has participated in 43 T20 games, amassing 264 runs and 43 wickets.

Drakes has an intriguing fact: despite not having yet participated in an IPL game, he has actually won the championship twice. He shared the trophy with Chennai Super Kings in 2021, and the Gujarat Titans won the competition that year.

Perhaps Darkes will bring RCB the luck they need to capture the IPL title in 2023.
