Royal Challengers Bangalore bought Aaron Finch for Rs 4.40 crore
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) boosted their squad with six overseas players in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 auction on Thursday. Out of the six international buys, the Bangalore-based franchise invested in three Australians. RCB spent a total of Rs 8.60 crore to get the services of Aaron Finch (Rs 4.40 crore), Kane Richardson (Rs 4 crore) and Joshua Philippe (Rs 20 lakh).

"How lucky are you @parthiv9 opening the batting with an Aussie @AaronFinch5.. you life just got easier! @RCBTweets He still is taller than you... but then again.. most cricketers are," Dean Jones tweeted.

For the 13th edition of the IPL, the Bangalore-based franchise invested heavily on all-rounders.
At the auction, RCB placed a bid of Rs 10 crore to get the services of South Africa's Chris Morris.
They also bagged Sri Lanka all-rounder Isuru Udana for his base price of Rs 50 lakh.
Bangalore also included 36-year-old Dale Steyn, who joined RCB as replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile in IPL 2019, in their squad.
Steyn was roped in by Bangalore for Rs 2 crore.
