Royal Challengers Bangalore, over the years, have been relying on two key performers, Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers for their success and are yet to win an IPL trophy yet. Virat has stepped down from IPL captaincy while AB has announced his retirement from all forms of the game.

This means that RCB will have to pick a captain from the mega auction and they will need to build their Indian batting contingent. RCB has retained Kohli(15 Cr), Glenn Maxwell(11 Cr) and Mohammad Siraj(7 Cr) ahead of the mega auction and one of the reasons behind their lack of trophy count has been the support around Kohli.

However, this time they might have a better auction strategy in picking up players and Dhawan will certainly be on their radar. He ticks a lot of boxes for the RCB with experience at the top and Kohli can play the anchor role which suited him really well in IPL 2016.
