Royal Challengers Bangalore snapped up England pace bowler Tymal Mills for a cool $1.8 million in the IPL auction - so what are they getting for their money?
Sky Sports caught up with the 24-year-old last summer to find out the secrets of his devastating performances.
"I'm quite lucky that I am quite flexible in my shoulders and can get my arm over at a good angle," the seamer told Rob Key during his bowling demo.
"I might grip the ball differently depending on length but I try to get my arm over as fast as I can so the batsmen don't notice the difference until it's too late."
Mills' Sussex team-mate, Luke Wright, was also part of the demo and revealed that he never asks his bowler to swap express speed for control.
"Pace gives you a chance to get the best batters out," said Wright. "The role as captain is to not worry if he goes for runs as he is there to get wickets."
