Royal Challengers Bangalore Watchlist 2023

1. Sam Curran from England

The World Cup winner missed out last season with an injury and this time around with his current form and his talent, he is a sure must-pick option for RCB, the budget and the competition could make things difficult for RCB. Sam Curran’s base price is 2.0CR and RCB must be careful in the process of getting Sam Curran.

Sam Curran’s T20I Career

Mat: 8
Runs: 139
SR: 173.75
Avg: 17.38
Wickets: 5
B. Avg: 35.6
Best: Batting – 61 runs, Bowling – 2/16

2. Adam Zampa from Australia

with a base price of 1.5Cr is also an option which RCB are considering. His recent form could influence RCB to buy him. Bangalore already has Chahal as their main spinner but roping another spinner would help them go deep into the competition, but this time around they will look to change things and they can go for Adam Zampa and many teams will also be looking for him, so RCB must be careful.

3. Sikandar Raza from Zimbabwe

Sikandar Raza is a top-quality all-rounder and he will surely be on the radar of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the mini-auction. Bangalore is currently looking for an all-rounder and looking at the current market they are a good choice for the upcoming season and future seasons as well.

Sikandar Raza’s IPL Career:

Mat: 66
