Bengaluru has already addressed one deficiency by adding all-rounder Cameron Green to their middle order. The Australian was bought in the IPL 2023 auction by the Mumbai Indians for a whopping price tag of Rs 17.50 crore. However, Mumbai decided to trade him to RCB to bring in Hardik Pandya.
“We have got a strong core of retaining players, and we have got a very powerful top order. Part of the decision-making that we had around our player release decisions was to try and strengthen the middle order and bringing Cameron Green was a fantastic move,” Mo Bobat, the Director of Cricket for RCB had said at the RCB Innovation Lab’s Leaders Meet India.
RCB squad: Faf du Plessis (c), Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyash Prabhudessai, Will Jacks, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Manoj Bhandage, Mayank Dagar, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, Swapnil Singh, Saurav Chauhan.
