1. Glenn Maxwell
Despite not having won the IPL title yet, Royal Challengers Bangalore are considered as one of the favourites to clinch the trophy in the upcoming season. One of the key players in their squad will be Glenn Maxwell, who brings a wealth of experience from various franchise leagues around the world. In 2014, while playing for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), Maxwell was named ‘Player of the Tournament’ in the IPL. He has also won the IPL title with Mumbai Indians in 2013 and will look to bring that winning mentality to RCB. Another important member of the team is Faf du Plessis, who has won the IPL with Chennai Super Kings and was the second-highest run scorer in the 2021 edition with 633 runs. As a South African captain and a consistent performer in the IPL, du Plessis’ leadership and batting skills will be crucial for RCB’s success in the tournament.
2. Wanindu Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga is a top-performing bowler for Sri Lanka in white-ball cricket, with 89 wickets in 55 T20Is and 39 wickets in 38 ODIs. He is also a valuable contributor with the bat. In 2022, he was signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a whopping INR 10.75 crore. He had a successful IPL season, taking 26 wickets in 16 games and finishing as the team’s second-leading wicket-taker. Recently, he performed well in the International League T20, taking 15 wickets in nine matches with an economy of 7.18. Hasaranga will aim to showcase his skills in the 16th edition of IPL and compete for the Purple Cap.
3. Cameron Green
Cameron Green, who is yet to make his IPL debut, fetched a whopping INR 17.5 crore from Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2023 auction, making him the second most expensive player in IPL history. The Australian all-rounder made a mark with his batting skills last year, particularly with his explosive performances as an opener against India in T20Is. He is also a decent seam bowler, adding to his value as an all-rounder. Recently, Green scored a Test century against India in Ahmedabad, further boosting his reputation as a talented cricketer. His expensive price tag and current form will undoubtedly make him a player to watch out for in the upcoming IPL. With his all-round abilities and potential, Green is expected to make a significant impact in the tournament and contribute to Mumbai Indians’ campaign.
