Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has always fielded superstars such as Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle. It is, without a doubt, one of the most well-known teams in the Indian Premier League. They looked good in the IPL 2022. In actuality, they’ve enjoyed some recent success. Although the roster has a few holes, the Faf du Plessis-led club might look for a few strong IPL 2023 auction additions. To prepare for the lucrative event’s 2023 edition, RCB, which still has seven seats remaining, including two foreign places, will try to construct a formidable squad. Here are the three players RCB may pursue in the IPL 2023 auction.
Manish Pandey is one of the most prolific run scorers in the Indian Premier League. The 33-year-old has appeared in 160 games and scored 3648 runs at a strike rate of 121.52. He can brilliantly guide the innings while allowing the strikers to play freely. He may also quickly switch gears and launch an attack on the opponent.
RCB had difficulty finding an excellent candidate for the number five position in the 2022 season. As a result, they might try to recruit Manish, who has extensive experience playing in the middle order.
The Karnataka hitter, who previously played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore from 2011 to 2013, may be able to contribute with the bat to the team.
Given that the 2023 IPL will be played in its conventional home-and-away format, and given that he has a tonne of runs to his name when playing at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, he has the potential to be the team’s batting X-factor.
Jason Holder has routinely produced as a power play and death bowler in the shortest format, and he is also a decent batter.
He played for the Lucknow Super Giants in 2022 and had a solid season with the ball. Holder took 14 wickets in 12 games at a 9.42 economy rate and an average of slightly under 28.

In a scenario where the team is under a cloud of a lower purse amount, he will surely be a target for RCB heading into the IPL 2023 auction, as he may be a cost-effective choice for the squad.
