In the Indian Premier League (IPL), the team that has the most expensive player has not been able to win a single title till date. We are talking about Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Like the other teams, the picture of RCB has been cleared with the auction for IPL 2020 on Thursday. They placed bets on eight players in the IPL auction. With this, the number of players for Royal Challengers Bangalore has increased to 21. Let’s know which players this team of Virat Kohli bid on.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), captained by Virat Kohli, released 12 players under the IPL Trade Window this year. These include Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetymer, Akshdeep Nath, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Colin De Grandhomme, Prayas Ray Barman, Tim Southee, Kulwant Khejroliya, Himmat Singh, Heinrich Klaasen, Milind Kumar (and Dale Steyn, who was a mid-season replacement).
