In addition, seven Associate Nations players are participating. This list is based on the interest of the players of the franchise teams.
RCB will keep an eye on these players
Talking about Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), it has retained 3 players including Virat Kohli. In such a situation, she will be able to buy 22 more players. He still has Rs 57 crore left with him. Let’s know which batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders will be watching RCB in the mega auction.
Quinton de Kock: When Virat Kohli declared himself unavailable as captain, all eyes were on AB de Villiers. But with AB out, RCB’s captaincy problem got bigger. If reports are to be believed, RBC is now eyeing Quinton de Kock. De Kock, in fact, all eyes are on him despite being listed at a base price of Rs 2 crore. Hence, it should be RBC’s utmost effort and priority to include him in their squad. He can be an effective keeper and can also make up for the lack of Virat Kohli.
Alex Hales: Apart from this, RCB can also bid on Alex Hales. He has been in good form in PSL and BBL. His strike rate is an astonishing 151. Although he did not find much success in the IPL, where he scored 148 runs in 6 matches, playing for SRH, it was a different phase in his career.
Aiden Markram: How you define Aidan Markram is up to you. Markram may not seem the most explosive, but he has mastered the art of scoring T20 runs. His strike rate is close to 150, which is proof of this. He brings stability at No. 4 in tough times when you lose your openers early. 2021 saw him at his best with 570 runs in just 16 innings.
Priyam Garg: Under-19 captains have always grabbed attention. Garg led India to the final of the 2020 Under-19 World Cup, only to lose the final to Bangladesh. He has scored 205 runs in 19 IPL games with a low average of 15. At the age of 21, he still has a lot of time to take his career to the heights. Priyam Garg has so much potential that he can also handle the captaincy of RCB.
Deepak Hooda: RCB need a finisher for which Deepak Hooda is the better player. RCB need some Indian hands on deck as they have limited number of overseas slots available, plus the budget allocated for fast bowlers may force them to go to Hooda, who played the IPL 2021 opener for Punjab Kings. The batsman was almost illuminated. He is in an upbeat mood after recently joining the Indian squad for the upcoming West Indies ODIs.
Wanindu Hasaranga: Hasaranga is not new to RCB, he was in the team last year as well. His consistent performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 shows that he can embody the best in his web. Apart from this, RCB will also keep an eye on Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Kagiso Rabada and Josh Hazlewood.
