    IPL 2021 Auction: Decoding focus areas of RCB
  • Royal Challengers Bangalore had an eventful season in 2020 as compared to the previous few editions.

    The Virat Kohli-led side, who secured their first playoffs berth since 2016, were defeated in the Eliminator by the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

    After having released several players from the squad, the RCB will aim to make the most of the impending auction.

    Considering this, we decode their auction strategy.

  • The RCB had released 10 players, including Chris Morris, Aaron Finch, Moeen Ali, Umesh Yadav among others.

    They will also miss the services of Parthiv Patel (retired) and Dale Steyn (rest).

    Notably, Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson (the player Zampa replaced last season) have been retained.

    Meanwhile, all-rounders Daniel Sams and Harshal Patel have been traded from the Delhi Capitals in an all-cash deal.

  • Despite releasing Umesh, the RCB boast a star-studded pace attack in the form of Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj and the newly-traded Sams.

    The spin section is too bolstered with the presence of Yuzvendra Chahal, Zampa and Washington Sundar.

    However, the batting still looks dependant on Kohli and AB de Villiers.

    The RCB would want to rope in a couple of finishers in the roster.
