Royal Challengers Bangalore had a lukewarm IPL 2023 auction, where its most expensive signing was England batter Will Jacks (injured) at INR 3.2 crore. Out of its seven signings, three were fast-bowlers, which include England pacer Reece Topley. RCB had retained its core ahead of the auction, and it is difficult to see how any of its new buys will fit into a best possible playing XI. The only slot which looks up for grabs is that of Mahipal Lomror, who will be on his toes after the franchise signed all-rounders Manoj Bhandage and Sonu Yadav.
