Pat Cummins

Despite a spirited effort, RCB failed to secure the services of Pat Cummins, with the Australian ace ultimately joining Sunrisers Hyderabad for a record-breaking Rs 20.50 crore.

Jhye Richardson

RCB expressed keen interest in Australian pacer Jhye Richardson, engaging in a bidding war with Delhi Capitals. However, they fell short as Delhi Capitals secured Richardson for Rs 5 crore.

Nuwan Thushara

 Sri Lankan bowler Nuwan Thushara drew attention from multiple franchises, including RCB and Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite a competitive bid, RCB withdrew as Mumbai Indians secured Thushara for Rs 4.80 crore.

RCB's auction journey showcased a focused approach on bolstering their pace resources, albeit missing out on marquee names like Pat Cummins and Jhye Richardson. The squad, enriched with a mix of seasoned and emerging talents, sets the stage for an exciting IPL 2024 campaign for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
