RCB Team 2023 Player List: Complete Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Squad and Players List for IPL 2023

One of the most popular IPL franchises, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) headed into the Indian Premier League 2023 auction with a settled squad after retaining their core players in the draft earlier this year. They released just five players, the least by any franchise, ahead of the auction on December 23 in Kochi.

The Bangalore-based franchise, which boasts one of the most loyal fan bases in cricket, headed into the auction with a purse value of 8.75 crores. While the other big names like Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians made the headlines after spending big bucks on Ben Stokes and Cameron Green respectively, RCB remained relatively quiet during the earlier rounds of the auction.

However, the Men in Red made their first signing of the auction after capturing the signature of the tall English pacer Reece Topley for a paltry 1.90 Crore. The left-arm pacer made a brilliant return to the limited overs format for England in 2022 and promises to be a brilliant addition to the star-studded bowling squad which features the likes of Mohammed Siraj and Josh Hazlewood.

England's 24-year-old all-rounder Will Jacks was another notable signing by the Bangalore-based franchise in the IPL 2023 auction. The Englishman is a skilled batter who can also provide the goods with the ball.

He was bought for a sum of 3.20 crores as the side put their trust in the young Englishman to cover for the injured Glenn Maxwell. They also went for the experienced IPL campaigner Manish Pandey but were outbid by Delhi Capitals, who completed the signing of the stylish Indian batting stalwart. RCB have been jolted badly as their frontline seamer Reece Topley has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury that he sustained in the match against Mumbai, and South Africa seamer Wayne Parnell has been signed by RCB for the remainder of the season as Reece Topley's replacement. Vijaykumar Vyashak, the Karnataka seamer, has been roped in as Rajat Patidar's replacement. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore Final Squad:

Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammad Siraj, Faf du Plessis, Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dinesh Karthik, Shahbaz Ahmed, Anuj Rawat, Akash Deep, Josh Hazlewood, Mahipal Lomror, Finn Allen, Suyash Prabhudessai, Karn Sharma, Siddharth Kaul, David Willey, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma,  Manoj Bhandage, Rajan Kumar, Avinash Singh, Sonu Yadav, Michael Bracewell, Wayne Parnell, Vijaykumar Vyashak.
