Delhi: It was a day to remember at the auction in Dubai as records were shattered and it created history. The Royal Challengers Bangalore had a decent day at the auction. They got in players like Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Tom Curran and Yash Dayal but yet one feels they will miss the services of Harshal Patel.
So, what will be RCB’s ideal playing XI this season? Without a doubt, Virat Kohli would be opening with captain Faf du Plessis. Rajat Patidar would in all probability slot in at the valued No. 3 position. Following Patidar, RCB would back Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell. Dinesh Karthik, the India veteran, would be keeping and batting in the lower middle-order.
West Indies cricketer Alzarri Joseph would also feature in as a bowling all-rounder. Mohammed Siraj would be leading the pace battery along with Yash Dayal and Reece Topley. Karn Sharma could be the lone specialist spinner for the side.
