The <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rcb-royal-challengers-bangalore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a></strong> played some exciting brand of cricket in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League and qualified for the playoffs. However, they lost to Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier and exited the competition. RCB had a lot of positives in the 2022 season and so, they parted ways with only five of their players in a build-up to the coming season, keeping the balance of the side intact.

The Bangalore franchise entered the IPL 2023 auction with INR 8.75 crore in their kitty. <strong>RCB</strong> spent the majority of their purse to sign overseas players in Reece Topley (INR 1.9 crore) and Will Jacks (INR 3.2 crore). Topley is a bankable name in the T20 circuit and was a great buy. However, one could argue whether Jacks is a worthy addition to the side.

Jacks has played just four international games thus far and is yet to feature in the IPL. As the 24-year-old is thin on experience, Bangalore could have signed some seasoned campaigners moving into the upcoming season. Moreover, given the composition of the side, there were certain players who could have fit into the side in a better manner.

<strong>Here are three players RCB could’ve picked instead of Will Jacks:</strong>

<strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-cricket/sikandar-raza-will-be-the-story-of-ipl-2023-twitter-elated-as-zimbabwe-all-rounder-bags-maiden-ipl-deal-with-punjab-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sikandar Raza</a></strong> is one the finest all-rounders Zimbabwe cricket has produced. The 36-year-old has been a match-winner with both bat and ball and has shown his might in T20 leagues around the world. He has smashed 3123 runs in 160 games in the shortest format and bagged 83 scalps at an economy of 7.31.

Raza took the international circuit by storm with his breathtaking performances in 2022. He took bowling attacks to the cleaners and smashed 735 runs in 24 T20Is at a strike rate of 150.92. Also, the Sialkot-born player strangled batters with his variations and bagged 25 scalps at an economy of 6.13.

Raza is an established performer in the T20 circuit and has displayed his all-round credentials time and time again. He could have been someone who could act as a backup for both Glenn Maxwell and Wanindu Hasaranga. Thus, Royal Challengers Bangalore could have added the Zimbabwean to their repertoire. Nonetheless, Punjab Kings grabbed the better of Raza for his base price.

<strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/daryl-mitchell/?q=kohli" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daryl Mitchell</a></strong> has been a proven performer in the shortest format of the game. The 31-year-old has featured in 149 T20 games and scored 3149 runs at a strike rate of 132.70. On the bowling front, he has bagged 60 wickets at an economy of 9.34 in those outings.

Mitchell has been sensational in the international arena too. The flamboyant batter has featured in 41 T20Is and hammered 786 runs at a strike rate of 139.11. Also, he is a smart customer with the ball and has played the role of additional bowling option when needed.

The Kiwi national has displayed the versatility to bat both, at the top order and the middle order. Further, the ace all-rounder was in a rich vein of form leading into the IPL 2023 auction, having smashed 394 runs in 16 T20Is at a strike rate of 143.79. Therefore, Royal Challengers Bangalore could have signed the Kiwi batter for the upcoming season. His inclusion could have bolstered the batting line-up and provided a seam-bowling option to the team. Unfortunately, he went unsold during the auction, as none of the teams showed interest in getting him.

<strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/powerfull-deal-with-low-price-rajasthan-royals-hailed-after-capturing-jason-holder-in-ipl-2023-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Holder</a></strong> is one of the top-drawer all-rounders going around in the T20 circuit. The 31-year-old has bagged 199 wickets in 204 T20 games and scored 1788 runs at a strike rate of 126.18. He has displayed his class for the national side as well, picking up 51 scalps in 49 T20Is and scoring 385 runs at a strike rate of 120.68.

Holder can make the ball talk at the start of the innings and provide early breakthroughs for the side. Also, the Barbados-born is equally effective with the ball in other phases of the game. On the batting front, he is a ferocious striker of the cricket ball and can play the role of a finisher to play important cameos.

Given Royal Challengers Bangalore did not have any seam-bowling all-rounder on their side, it was expected that they could go after someone like Holder at the IPL 2023 auction. However, RCB did not take that route and signed a spin-bowling all-rounder in Jacks. Jason Holder will represent the Rajasthan Royals for the upcoming edition.
