IPL 2023 Auction: Royal Challengers Bangalore performed admirably in the IPL 2022 under the new leadership of Faf du Plessis. However, their campaign was cut short during the knockout stage. When it comes to the IPL 2023 auction, the RCB think tank may want to buy some all-rounder options to back up Wanindu Hasaranga and Glenn Maxwell. It’s worth noting that KKR released a slew of all-rounders ahead of the IPL auction. In this article, we look at three former KKR players who may be targeted by RCB in the upcoming event.

IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Players Released by Kolkata Knight Riders that Royal Challengers Bangalore might target in Auction, Check Out
1. Shivam Mavi
In RCB, Shivam Mavi could be an ideal bowling partner for Josh Hazlewood. Mavi is capable of easily breaking the 140 kmph barrier. If the RCB goes with Siraj and Hazlewood with the new ball, Mavi can bowl after the field restrictions. In the middle overs, he can look to take wickets to stem the flow of runs.
2. Mohammad Nabi
Mohammad Nabi can fill in for Wanindu Hasaranga or Glenn Maxwell in the RCB starting lineup. Nabi has demonstrated his ability with both the bat and the ball over the years, particularly in the T20 format. Nabi has appeared in 17 IPL games since 2017. He has scored 180 runs and taken 13 wickets. Nabi could be an ideal bowling all-rounder to replace Hasaranga or Maxwell in the Red Army squad.

3. Chamika Karunaratne
Chamika Karunaratne is another all-rounder who did not get an opportunity to showcase his abilities with KKR. Karunaratne can swing the new ball and is quite skilled with the bat. To be sure, Karunaratne did well for his team during the recently concluded T20 World Cup, and several franchises, including RCB, may be interested in him in the upcoming auction.
