Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone of England were purchased by RCB for ₹11.5 and ₹8.75 crores, respectively.
Josh Hazlewood, an Australian bowler who rejoined Royal Challengers Bengaluru for ₹12.5 crores, was a significant target. Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone of England were also acquired by RCB for ₹11.5 and ₹8.75 crores, respectively. For ₹11 crore, RCB also acquired batsman-wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma.
Meanwhile, RCB also acquired Rasikh Dar ( ₹6 crores) and Suyash Sharma ( ₹2.6 crores).
Eoin Morgan and Robin Uthappa blasted RCB for their bidding strategy. “I’m a local boy, and I’m confused,” Uthappa stated on JioCinema. In the first two marquee sets, you have only made one pick. In the process of rebuilding a team or determining your future course, you have the support of your supporters year after year. They risked their hearts and their emotions. They show up to support the side at that time. When we go through the tweets that are coming in, I’m positive that you’ll see how disappointed they are.
“And you simply ask yourself, where are they going? Additionally, they should have pursued Mitchell Starc because you needed a reliable bowler there. KL Rahul has not been pursued by them. Neither Shreyas Iyer nor Rishabh Pant have been targeted. You should choose the two-skilled player Rishabh Pant. You give them the hill back. That purse is yours. For one of them players, you can spend up to 23 crores. They didn’t go that far at all. The supporters have supported this team so strongly that I feel sorry for them. And I’m disappointed for them. “If you look at it, Robbie, the fans are actually saying that,” he said.
