David Warner: The star Australian opener was not retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad and will go under the hammer in IPL 2022 Auction. In IPL 2021, Warner played just 8 games where he has scored 195 runs. However, the best stint of Warner came in 2016 when he scored 848 runs in 17 innings with an average of 60.57 when he led SRH to their first-ever IPL victory. A player of Warner’s quality will surely be on the target list of RCB who will go into the auction for a base price of 2 Cr.
Quinton de Kock: The 29-year-old South African batter who has been in a tremendous form off late. The fiery opener was not retained by Mumbai Indians and will go under the hammer for a base price of 2 Cr. De Kock scored 297 runs in 11 innings in IPL 2021 and will be eager to continue his fine form in IPL 2022.

Jonny Bairstow: The English opener is a brilliant player who will be a prime target of RCB in the upcoming IPL 2022 Auction. With 248 runs in 7 innings last season for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Bairstow with a base price of 1.5 Cr, can be a good option for the Bangalore outfits who are in search of a star opener.
Faf du Plessis: Despite being 37-year-old, the South African veteran du Plessis can be a sensible buy for RCB who will be looking for an experienced batter to open their innings in IPL 2022. Banking out of terrific performances in IPL 2021 which eventually made Chennai Super Kings champions, du Plessis scored 633 runs in 16 innings and will head into the auction with a base price of 2 Cr.
Aiden Markram: Making his debut in IPL 2021, Proteas batter Aiden Markram can be a good buy for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Markram scored 146 runs in 6 innings and will be hungry to score more runs in IPL 2022 and cement his spot in the league. He will go under the hammer for a base price of 1 Cr.
