In the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League(IPL), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) ended up in the third position after losing to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Qualifier 2. For the franchise, it was a close but no-cigar situation, but this time, Faf du Plessis and his men will look to be at their best and have their hands on the prestigious trophy.&nbsp;

Last month, RCB purchased a couple of English names and a few domestic players at the mini-auction for IPL 16. However, they could’ve roped in some recent performers at the event and strengthened themselves. The franchise also had a chance to replace the last edition’s non-performing names with these players who looked in good touch in the last few months. They should've signed a couple of veterans too who play for Karnataka and have featured for RCB also in the past. Both these names are credible as well as they have rich history in the league. Going through these facts, it could be said that the franchise should've signed these two names too along with recent performers.

Here are five players who’ve RCB should’ve gone after at the mini-auction:

Vidwath Kaverappa made his domestic T20 debut in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23 and looked exceptional with the ball clinching 18 wickets for Karnataka in eight matches at an economy of 6.36. With this bowling performance, he became the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. The youngster was unstoppable&nbsp; &nbsp; The youngster showcased his bowling skills again in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022-23, taking 17 scalps in eight games at an impressive economy of 3.53. Following these phenomenal numbers of the pacer, Punjab Kings signed him at INR 20 lakh at the mini-auction in Kochi last month.

However, RCB should’ve invested in the Karnataka youngster at the grand event as he could’ve bolstered the team’s fast-bowling unit with his pace bowling abilities. The local boy might’ve become the best option to replace the 32-year-old, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-pacer-siddharth-kaul-rues-being-forgotten/" title="Siddharth Kaul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Siddharth Kaul</a>, who got only one game from RCB last year and looked out of colour.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/ipl-2023-5-in-form-indian-players-who-deserve-to-get-picked-at-upcoming-auction/" title="Samarth Vyas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samarth Vyas</a> could’ve become a perfect addition to the RCB squad to strengthen their middle order for the upcoming edition. With the batters such as Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Rajat Patidar, Vyas might’ve done wonders for the team with his current form.

Last year, he showcased his batting skills in a couple of domestic tournaments. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23, he came hard on bowlers scoring 314 runs in seven matches at a remarkable strike rate of 177.40. He also continued his form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, as he racked up 443 runs in 10 games at a strike rate of 106.74.

Relying on these colossal batting figures, RCB should’ve purchased him at the auction last month. In the upcoming tournament, he will be seen in an SRH jersey as the 2016 title winners acquired him at his base price of INR 20 lakh. However, with his aggressive batting style, Samarth could've become a key player for RCB to outplay other teams.

After having an amazing T20 World Cup last year,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-appeal/ipl-2023-5-teams-that-might-target-adil-rashid-at-auction-4145/" title="Adil Rashid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adil Rashid</a> got sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at his base price of INR 2 crore. At the mini-auction, he was expected to bag decent money but the 34-year-old could attract SRH only. However, the deal turned out reasonable for the SRH as they got in-form Rashid at a low amount.

Albeit, RCB could’ve roped the English leggie into their team to reinforce their spin attack. Noticing his recent performance, the franchise could’ve shown faith in him. In the last two years (2021 and 2022), the 34-year-ol was outstanding for England, claiming 42 wickets in 40 T20I matches. In the T20 World Cup 2022, he showed his brilliance with the ball, notching up four wickets in six matches at an economy of 6.12.

Last year, Wanindu Hasaranga led the spin-bowling unit efficiently for RCB. Taking 26 wickets in 16 IPL games at an economy of 7.54, the Sri Lanka spinner looked incredible with the ball. However, with the addition of Rashid, the team’s spin attack could’ve emerged as one of the best in the forthcoming competition.

Before the 2022 mini-auction 2022, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) released&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/csk-will-be-looking-for-sam-curran-manish-pandey-in-ipl-mini-auction-robin-uthappa/" title="Manish Pandey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manish Pandey</a>, who was miserable with his bat. The veteran racked up only 88 runs for his franchise in six matches, at a horrendous strike rate of 110.00. Pandey has vast experience in the league and he has served six franchises so far in the 15 editions of the tournament.

With 3,648 runs in 160 IPL matches, he becomes a bankable player in the league. In 2009, he played for RCB in the second season of the tournament and notched up a fearless knock of 114 runs off 73 balls against Deccan Chargers. With this notable innings, the right-handed batter became a renowned batting name in the league.&nbsp;

At the mini-auction held last month, DC and RCB engaged in a bidding battle to get his services in the forthcoming season. In the end, DC picked him at INR 2.4 crore counting on his talent. However, the Bangalore-based franchise should’ve gone for Pandey as he could’ve done well for them in the middle order with his vast experience. In the 2022 edition, the franchise trusted Rajasthan’s Mahipal Lomror to reinforce their batting. However, Lomror delivered a flop show with the bat scoring only 86 runs for the franchise in seven games.

In the previous IPL edition,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-cricket/more-than-what-he-could-have-deserved-after-last-ipl-twitter-reacts-as-srh-grab-mayank-agarwal-at-inr-825-crore/" title="Mayank Agarwal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayank Agarwal</a> failed to show up with the bat amassing only 196 runs for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in 13 matches at a dismal strike rate of 122.50. Witnessing his disappointing batting numbers, PBKS cut ties with him in November last year. The 31-year-old was also the skipper of Punjab and he couldn't take his team to playoffs.&nbsp;

After getting released from PBKS, his name went under the hammer at the mini-auction to get a buyer. Going through his superb capability and huge experience, SRH invested INR 8.25 crore for IPL 16. At the auction table, the 2016 champions also had a bidding war with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

Agarwal started his journey in the league with RCB as he served the franchise from 2011-13. At the last auction, RCB tried to rope him into their side but gave up later. However, the franchise should’ve signed him as he could’ve delivered magnificent starts to the team with skipper Faf du Plessis. In 113 IPL games, the Karnataka batter has accumulated 2,327 runs at a strike rate of 134.28.
