RCB. This team has been playing IPL since the first year, but till now the team has not won the IPL title even once. It is difficult to say whether his dream will come true in next year’s IPL season, but in today’s auction, RCB management has tried to create a very strong team. However, even after the auction is over, the question remains as to who will be the captain of the team next year. Although they have a player like Virat Kohli, but it will be interesting to see whether the team is thinking of something else.
RCB had retained these players, also did an RTM
Royal Challengers Bangalore had already retained some of their players. This includes Virat Kohli in Rs 21 crore, Rajat Patidar in Rs 11 crore and Yash Dayal in Rs 5 crore. This time the team recalled only one player through RTM i.e. Right to Match card and that is Swapnil Singh. The team has taken him back for Rs 50 lakh. The team could have RTMed some more players, but it did not happen.
Spent a huge amount on Josh Hazlewood
If we talk about this year’s auction, the player on whom the team has spent the most money in two days is Josh Hazlewood. The team spent Rs 12 crore 50 lakh for him. The team spent Rs 11 crore 50 lakh for filling salt. The team also had to spend Rs 11 crore for Jitesh Sharma. The team has succeeded in getting Bhuvneshwar Kumar in its fold for Rs 10 crore 75 lakh. However, the team bought Liam Livingstone for only Rs 8 crore 75 lakh. This was a big success for the team.
The captaincy has not been revealed yet
The team has covered almost all the areas. From opening to middle order and from fast bowling to spin attack. But the question will remain that who will be the captain of the team. Earlier, after Virat Kohli left the captaincy, Faf Du Plessis was taking over the command, but this time he has been released. He will now be seen in Delhi. In such a situation, the question in everyone’s mind is about captaincy. Although Virat Kohli can become the captain again if he wants, but the team also has the options of Phil Salt and Krunal Pandya. There is still a lot of time for the next season of IPL and the team will take this decision only after thinking carefully.
