Royal Challengers Bangalore have been one of the most celebrated franchises in the Indian Premier League but unfortunately, they haven’t won even a single IPL title in the 15-year-long history of the tournament and 16 seasons since the inception of the tournament in the year 2008. However, a lot of star players have played for RCB throughout the 16 seasons.
The likes of former Indian batting skipper and batting legend, Virat Kohli and former Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis are still associated with the team. Apart from this, the team might also target some key players in the upcoming mini-auction for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2024.
With said that, here we’ll have a look at the five players, that RCB could eye in the upcoming mini-auction for the Indian Premier League 2024.
Kartik Tyagi
The young Uttar Pradesh pacer Kartik Tyagi was in action for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2023. He has produced some impressive and economical performances in his short 3-year-long IPL career. In 19 IPL matches, Kartik Tyagi has scalped 15 wickets with his best performance of 2/29. Considering a potential bowling star in him, RCB might pick him in their squad in the IPL 2024 mini-auction.
Mitchell Starc
The veteran Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has also played for RCB in the earlier seasons of the Indian Premier League. Speaking of his IPL career, Starc has played 27 matches and has scalped 34 wickets with his best performance of 4/15. Owing to his previous experiences with RCB, the franchise might give it a think to get the Aussie veteran on board for the next season of the tournament.
Shardul Thakur
The star Mumbai bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur has recently been released by the Kolkata Knight Riders. So, he will be available in the mini-auction for the Indian Premier League 2024. Looking at his versatile skills with both bat and ball, the red outfits might consider him in the next edition of the Indian Premier League.
Shahrukh Khan
The 28-year-old Tamil Nadu batting all-rounder Shahrukh Khan was recently released by his previous franchise Punjab Kings. He has played 33 IPL matches so far and has scored 426 runs with a strike rate of 134.81. His blistering batting skills could lead him to the squad of the Royal Challengers Bangalore for the next IPL season.
Sean Abbott
However, the star Australian pacer Sean Abbott made his IPL debut 8 years ago in the year 2015 but he has only played three matches in his IPL. Currently, he is in action with Australia in the ongoing five-match T20I series against India in India. Apart from this, Abbott has played a total of 150 T20 matches across various franchise tournaments and has scalped 190 wickets. His T20 experience could be an important factor for RCB to consider him in the mini-auction.
