IPL 2023: Strongest Playing XI For Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
After the conclusion of the 2023 auction, these RCB players could be considered the perfect to make an 11-member squad.
7. Shahbaz Ahmed
Last month, the franchise included Shahbaz Ahmed on its retention list. In February this year, the franchise got him at a sum of INR 2.40 crores in the mega auction. The franchise was expecting him to provide strength to the team with his all-round skills. In sixteen appearances in the 2022 installment, he boosted the batting line-up scoring 219 runs.
As a lower-order batter in the team, Shahbaz delivered crucial knocks to the team in tense situations. Along with Dinesh Karthik, he helped the team with the bat to cross the line in games against Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals. But his bowling was below-par in the tournament as the 28-year-old took only four wickets at a horrendous economy of 9.60.
However, the Bengal cricketer proved his mettle with both bat and ball in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23. Racking up 207 runs and seven wickets in six games, he was the best player for Bengal in the tournament. In 2023, he will expect himself to continue his form in the IPL too.
