Royal Challengers Key Players
RCB is the best team when we consider the batting depth of IPL teams. The highest scorer in IPL history, Virat Kohli, is a permanent part of the team. The team includes South African veteran Faf du Plessis. The other notable batters are New Zealand opener Finn Allen, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, and Indian veteran Dinesh Karthik. The young player Rajat Patidar became one of the top players in the last IPL and again with the team this year.
In our Royal Challengers Bangalore team predictions, we can easily say that RCB got an excellent bowling attack this year. They have Australian quick bowler Josh Hazlewood and Englishmen David Willey as their international fast bowlers. The Indian pace bowlers with the team are Harshal Patel, Muhammad Siraj, and Sidharth Kaul. The Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga and Indian Karn Sharma are the leading spinners to complete their bowling battery.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Team Predictions 2023
RCB has only 8.75 crores in the bag to use in the auction for the 2023 IPL. They have 6 overseas players and can go for two more in this auction. They can go for a fast bowling option, and many players are available that they might not get due to a low budget. West Indian player Jason Holder might get a nod from RCB. RCB can go for a left-arm quick, Josh Little from Ireland, who bowled well in the world cup.
They can also take Mayank Agarwal to strengthen their top order. South African player Rassie van der Dussen is also an exciting choice to strengthen the middle order. RCB can also go for Australian spinner Ashton Agar or fast bowling all-rounder Nathan Coulter-Nile. The other selection will be Indian players who are young and unknown to an overseas audience. With that, we finish our Royal Challengers Bangalore Team Predictions.
