RCB Full Squad – Royal Challengers Bangalore began the auction brilliantly, pipping neighbours and rivals Chennai Super Kings to snap up Faf du Plessis. Following on from the promise they have shown in the last two seasons, Royal Challengers Bangalore were determined to build a title-winning team in the IPL 2022 auction. But going all in for Hasaranga meant, they missed out on some quality Indian spin option after letting Yuzvednra Chahal leave. Follow IPL 2022 Live updates InsideSport.IN

However, the big debate will be on the NEXT CAPTAIN. With Virat Kohli stepping down, RCB only have two options in Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell. While Maxwell has shown the quality, Faf was an established skipper for South Africa. Harshal Patel, who returned to RCB said Du Plessis was his favourite.
“I don’t know, I haven’t had any chat with anybody at the RCB management, but Faf is, in my opinion. He has led South Africa very well and is a potential candidate, but I certainly can’t say,” Harshal Patel said.
