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.
8. Wanindu Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga will strengthen the bowling department of RCB with his leg-break bowling. Last season, the franchise showed faith in him buying at INR 10.75 crores at the mega auction 2023. The Sri Lanka cricketer had a responsibility to fill the boots of Yuzvendra Chahal in the team and he did that very well becoming the second-leading wicket-taker of the competition with 26 scalps in 16 matches, at an economy of 7.54.
In the team’s journey till playoffs, the 25-year-old chipped in with his frugal and wicket-taking spells. In the matches against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), he showed his best bowling displays notching up 4/20 and 5/18 respectively.
Apart from the league, Hasaranga also displayed his disciplined performance for Sri Lanka in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 and became the highest wicket-taker of the tournament. The leggie got the achievement by hunting 15 batters in eight games, at a scintillating economy rate of 6.41. Noting his knack for troubling batters, the franchise will hope that he strengthens the team with his attacking bowling attitude again in the 2023 edition.
