The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction for the upcoming edition of 2020 has started at Kolkata and it will be engrossing to see how each of the teams finally shapes up. Here is what the Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) is up to in the auctions.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

Before the Auction

Players Released: Shimron Hetmeyer, Dale Steyn, Marcus Stoinis, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Colin de Grandhomme, Tim Southee.

Players Retained: Squad: Virat Kohli, Moeen Ali, Yuzvendra Chahal, AB de Villiers, Parthiv Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Pawan Negi, Umesh Yadav, Gurkeerat Mann, Devdutt Padikkal, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Navdeep Saini.

Purse Remaining:  ₹6.4 crores

Aaron Finch

Australia white-ball skipper Aaron Finch sparked quite the bidding war between KKR and RCB. His base price was ₹1 crore but he will now be joining RCB for a whopping price of ₹4.4 crores.

Chris Morris

Chris Morris, who last year played for DC, has interest from MI and KXIP before going to RCB for ₹10 crores. It can be termed as a bit of a gamble for a player who can be expensive with the ball and inconsistent with the bat.

Josh Philippe

Royal Challengers Bangalore got the services of Josh Philippe for his base price of ₹20 lakhs.

Kane Richardson

In a bit of a surprise, Australia’s Kane Richardson was bought by RCB for ₹4 crores.

Pavan Deshpande

Royal Challengers Bangalore bought the services of Pavan Deshpande and Shahbaz Ahamad for their base prices of ₹20 lakhs.

Dale Steyn

RCB bought back Dale Steyn for his base price of ₹2 crores.

Isuru Udana

Royal Challengers Bangalore bought the services of Isuru Udana for his base price of ₹50 lakhs.
