IPL franchises have revealed the retained and released players ahead of the IPL 2024. Notably, RCB has released most of the players and now has a big purse to buy the new players in the IPL 2024 auctions.’

However, RCB already has overseas players with the likes of Maxwell and Faf du Plessis, while they will be looking to get some Indian players to balance the team.

Meanwhile, check out the top five players whom RCB can buy in the IPL 2024 auction.

Mitchell Starc

Australia’s great cricketer Mitchell Starc is on the top list, and RCB has the full chance to buy him. Notably, the star cricketer was part of the same franchise back in 2015, and he is expected to be in the same for the IPL 2024. Notably, the left-arm pacer has the stellar ODI World Cup 2023, which makes him so expensive. However, RCB has a large purse left, which can help them buy Starc.

Manish Pandey

India’s star batter Manish Pandey has been released by DC ahead of IPL 2024. However, RCB can buy him in the auctions. Notably, the top-order batter has the ability to do most of the damage in the powerplays, which can make him placed in the RCB. However, the 34-year-old cricketer was part of RCB back in the IPL from 2009 to 2010.

Lockie Ferguson

New Zealand star bowler Lockie Ferguson has been released by KKR ahead of IPL 2024 after his franchise failed to enter the play-offs of IPL 2023. Notably, the right-arm fast bowler can be an imperative player for RCB owing to his lethal bowling spells.

Adil Rashid

English spinner Adil Rashid has been released by SRH ahead of the IPL 2024. However, the leg-spinner has a great ODI World Cup 2023 campaign, which might attract RCB to get him in the squad. Notably, the 35-year-old cricketer is regarded as one of the best English spinners of all time, and he can be helpful for RCB in its upcoming edition.

Shivam Mavi

Gujarat Titans have released Shivam Mavi ahead of IPL 2023; however, RCB can look to buy him in their squad for the next edition of IPL. Notably, the star cricketer didn’t have a great season with GT, which made them lose the final of the IPL 2023 against CSK.
