Faf Du Plessis
IPL 2024 Auction RCB Target Players : Faf du Plessis may be the captain of RCB i.e. Royal Challengers Bangalore at present, but the identity of this team has been Virat Kohli for the last many years. The team came close to winning the IPL title several times, but it would be considered unfortunate that the team has not been able to win the trophy even once. RCB has always been known for releasing its players, but this time it has not happened. The team has expressed confidence in most of its players. Before the auction for IPL takes place, you should know what is the biggest strength of this team. How much money does the team still have left in its purse? Who are the retained players of the team and when the team management will sit in the auction this time, which players can they target?
This time too only Faf du Plessis can captain
Royal Challengers Bangalore has worked to retain its core team this year. Not only this, it should be expected that this time also the command of the team remains in the hands of Faf Du Plessis. The team still has 19 players, out of which five are foreigners. The team has to buy only six players from here, which means the team will not need to rush much on the day of the auction. You can easily target your favorite players. The team has made a big trade before the auction. All-rounder Cameron Green has been included in their team from Mumbai Indians. However, a lot of money has been spent on this. The team has bought Green for Rs 17.5 crore. This could be a master stroke for the team.
Rs 23.25 crore left in RCB’s purse, six players left to buy
RCB currently has Rs 23.25 crore left in its purse. Among the six players, they also have vacant slots for three foreign players. If we talk about the strength of the team, then obviously Virat Kohli is their biggest strength. It is likely that Virat Kohli will be seen opening for the team along with captain Faf Du Plessis. Anyway, the team has not released many of its batsmen. Apart from Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis, there are Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green as well as Dinesh Karthik and Rajat Patidar, who will be part of the playing eleven of almost every match.
The team is looking for a partner with Mohammad Siraj
RCB has to play most of its matches in Bangalore, where the ground is small and a lot of runs are scored. Apart from Mohammad Siraj, the star player of the Indian team’s pace attack, the team does not have any big player from India. The team has released Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel and Josh Hazlewood. The team will need a pacer in the auction who can bowl in step with Mohammad Siraj. In such a situation, the team’s eyes will definitely be on Mitchell Starc. Who has played for RCB before also. The team must have made some strategy to bring him into its fold. It has been learned that five out of ten IPL teams have talked to Mitchell Starc, it is possible that RCB may also be a team in this.
RCB team can target Mitchell Starc
Talking about Mitchell Starc’s IPL career, he has taken 34 wickets in 27 matches so far. His average has been 20.38, while the economy is 7.17. Apart from Mitchell Starc, the team may also be eyeing Gerald Coetzee. Who has performed amazingly in the recent ODI World Cup. Gerald is considered a great death overs bowler. He has not played IPL yet, but his records in T20 are quite good. The team can also target Indian fast bowler Karthik Tyagi, he played for many teams and was playing for SRH last year, but he did not get too many chances. This time they have been released and it doesn’t seem yet that their price will skyrocket. There don’t seem to be many problems with the rest of the team. It remains to be seen whether the RCB team is successful in ending the IPL drought this time.
