Rachin Ravindra will undoubtedly be on Royal Challengers Bengaluru's radar during the IPL 2026 mini-auction. On retention day, the Chennai Super Kings released the Kiwi all-rounder, who could potentially join Bengaluru, which is looking for a number three batter as well as someone who can chip in with two overs in the middle. It's exactly what Livingstone offered last season. However, with Rachin, they will have a backup batter at number three in case Devdutt Padikkal struggles. In 18 games, he has 419 runs at a decent average of 25.
