IPL 2023 auction: RCB will buy two Sunrisers Hyderabad players

Royal Challengers Bangalore will arrive at the IPL 2023 auction with a budget of INR 8.75 crore. They can buy up to seven cricketers, of whom at most two can be overseas. IPL 2023 auction: RCB will buy two Sunrisers Hyderabad players.

In 2022, Bangalore had the all-rounders, the hitters, and a strong bowling attack. Despite losing some close matches, they made it to the playoffs, and even won the Eliminator before their bowling was left clueless against Jos Buttler something that has happened to bowling attacks around the world.

They have rightly retained most of their core. Ahead of this season’s auctions, they traded Jason Behrendorff with Mumbai Indians, and released Sherfane Rutherford, Luvnith Sisodia, Chama Milind, and Aneeshwar Gautam. Bangalore does not have the budget, nor do they have many slots to fill.

Expect them to go for N Jagadeesan (until they run out of budget, that is). Dinesh Bana, wicketkeeper of the India Under-19 side that won the World Cup this year, can hit the ball a mile. He may end up as the next finisher. Expect them to target the likes of Priyam Garg and Shashank Singh (both released by Sunrisers Hyderabad) as well.
