The IPL 2024 auction, held on December 19, witnessed all ten franchises finalizing their squads for the forthcoming season. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), captained by Faf du Plessis, made significant moves, acquiring six players to strengthen their roster.
Among their notable additions, Alzarri Joseph emerged as RCB’s highest-priced purchase, commanding a substantial INR 11.5 Crores. Complementing the West Indian pace sensation, RCB bolstered their fast-bowling department with Tom Curran, Lockie Ferguson, and Yash Dayal. The team also secured the services of left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh and Gujarat’s proficient top-order batsman, Saurav Chauhan.
In their pursuit of a premier fast bowler for the upcoming season, RCB earnestly targeted Australian captain Pat Cummins. Despite their efforts, RCB fell short in securing Cummins, who ultimately joined Sunrisers Hyderabad for a staggering Rs 20.50 crore.
