Royal Challengers Bangalore had a decent IPL season in 2022, where they finished fourth on the points table and then made it to the Qualifier 2 match. While RCB could not end their championship, they gave their fans a hope that they can do it in the IPL 2023 season.
The team management of the Royal Challengers Bangalore did a fantastic job at the mega auction, but there were a few areas of concern for the team. In this listicle now, we will look at the four players RCB can target for IPL 2023 to bolster their squad.
1. RCB could give Chris Gayle a farewell in IPL 2023
Chris Gayle received a Hall of Fame induction from the Royal Challengers Bangalore this year. The Universe Boss has made it clear that he will return to IPL next year. It will be a great way to say thank you to Gayle if RCB sign him and give him a few matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium next year.
2. Mitchell Starc
Mitchell Starc is one of the best pace bowlers in the world right now. However, he is injury prone, but if Royal Challengers Bangalore sign him and use him wisely, they could have one of the best bowling attacks of the competition.
3. RCB could buy Lukman Meriwala for IPL 2023
One of the weaknesses for RCB this year was their Indian pace attack. Mohammed Siraj, Siddarth Kaul and Akash Deep could not support Josh Hazlewood and Harshal Patel well. Bangalore can have variety in their pace attack if they sign Lukman Meriwala, who is a left-arm pacer and has picked up 77 wickets in 49 T20s.
4. Sandeep Warrier
Many fans would remember that Sandeep Warrier made his international debut last year, but he went unsold at the mega auction. Warrier could prove to be an economical bowling option. He has been with RCB in the past, and the team management could consider re-signing him if he does well in the domestic circuit.
