Jacob Duffy, a Kiwi quick gun, eventually received his first IPL contract after several fruitless tries in previous auctions. RCB acquired him for ₹2 crore in an Abu Dhabi mini-auction. Duffy is a regular in New Zealand's white-ball setup but has yet to make his IPL debut. However, his ability to swing the ball and bowl disciplined spells makes him a promising addition to RCB's pace attack.

He is also the second-best T20I bowler, which adds to his already impressive credentials.
