Royal Challengers Banglaore has been the most active franchise ahead of the IPL 2024 auction. They released a number of players ahead of the auction and traded in Cameron Green from the Mumbai Indians for INR 17.5 crore. The inclusion of Green has certainly strengthened the batting order of the RCB.
RCB has the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Faf du Plessis, and Dinesh Karthik, which is already an explosive batting lineup. Hence, it will not be a wrong statement to say that RCB has the most explosive batting attack. But RCB will be looking for one or two brilliant batters. Here, we will talk about three players that RCB can pick to strengthen their team and there are some good players available with a base price of INR 1 crore.
3. David Wiese
RCB has always struggled to get a genuine pace-bowling all-rounder who can bowl some overs and smash a few sixes down the order. And a player like David Wiese comes with the same skillset. The Namibian all-rounder played for RCB in 2015 and 2016. He is a pretty good death bowler and can bat anywhere. Wiese is available at a price of INR 1 crore, and he can be a pretty good addition to his batting unit.
2. Rovman Powell
West Indian T20I captain Rovman Powell is another hard-hitting batter that is available in this bracket of INR 1 crore. He is a batting all-rounder and was part of the Delhi Capitals in the last two seasons. But he was released and can be a steal of deal if RCB can by him. He can add more firepower to the RCB lineup, which will become more dangerous.
1. Daryl Mitchell
If RCB is looking for a proper batter, Daryl Mitchell is a perfect choice. The Kiwi all-rounder was at his best at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. He is also a useful pace bowler, but he is a perfect batter who can bat in the RCB middle order and do some special things, as he used to do for New Zealand.
