Achievements

One of the most reliable teams in the league has been RCB. IPL history, reaching the finals three times (in 2009, 2011, and 2016). They have also made it to playoffs in many seasons but have yet to be able to clinch the title. The 2016 season was perhaps their most successful, as they finished runners-up in a closely contested final. The team has also set various records in IPL histories, such as the highest team score, highest individual score, and most sixes in a season.

BATTERS

Faf du Plessis (Captain and Batter)

Faf du Plessis (Captain and Batter)
  • Matches: 121
  • Runs: 3662
  • Wickets: 0
  • Role: Batter
  • Batting Style: Right Handed
  • Bowling Style: Spin
  • Nationality: South African
  • DOB: July 13, 1984
  • IPL Debut: 2012

On March 12, 2022, Virat Kohli, the outgoing Royal Challengers Bangalore captain, announced that he would hand the reins over to Faf du Plessis, who would take over as the team’s next captain. For Faf du Plessis, who will represent the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the league’s 2022 season, it will be a completely new structure and team color scheme. The Royal Challengers Bangalore paid INR 7 crore for the veteran South African hitter at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. Faf du Plessis began playing for the CSK in the IPL and has kept doing so. By hitting 86 runs off 59 deliveries in the league’s Finals of the 2021 season, the right-handed hitter played a crucial role and was named Player of the Match. 

2018, Punjab Kings purchased Faf for INR 1.6 crore, but CSK beat them by utilizing their RTM card, making it a great deal for them. As a result of his steady performances for CSK, du Plessis was able to have a very successful debut season, amassing 398 runs, although he did not frequently play for the RPS team, where he was selected in the IPL player draft. He was impressed with a half-century on his ODI debut against India and soon landed a spot in the 2011 World Cup roster for South Africa. One hundred years later, Du Plessis has shed the label of a limited-overs specialist after making his Test debut against Australia. Du Plessis can provide a few valuable leg-spinners when needed, but batting is his strength. Additionally, he is a lightning rod on the field. His T20 package makes him ideal for any captain.

Patidar scored a match-winning knock of 112* (54) on May 25, 2022, in the matchup against Lucknow Super Giants Indian Premier League’s Eliminator game. As the first uncapped player to score a century in the Indian Premier League playoffs, Patidar’s innings proved record-breaking.

Dinesh Karthik
  • Matches: 234
  • Runs: 4414
  • Wickets: 0
  • Role: Wicketkeeper Batter
  • Batting Style: Right Handed
  • Bowling Style: N/A
  • Nationality: India
  • DOB: June 01, 1985
  • IPL Debut: 2008

In terms of wicket-keeper batters, Dinesh Karthik is among the most skilled. In 2018 under his leadership, the Kolkata Knight Riders made the playoffs, while in 2019, his team came in sixth in the standings. Dinesh Karthik was released by KKR before the league’s 2022 season and made himself available for the IPL Mega Auction. For INR 5.5 crore, Royal Challengers Bangalore purchased him. Karthik has competed in every IPL season since the league’s inception in 2008 and is a seasoned campaigner. 

After being acquired by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a hefty Rs 10.5 crore in 2015, this will be Karthik’s second tenure with the team. In his IPL career, the wicket-keeper batter has played for six teams. Before joining Kings XI Punjab in 2011, he began his career with the Delhi Daredevils. Before returning to Delhi in 2014, he played the next two seasons with the Mumbai Indians. He was purchased by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2015, and after playing for Gujarat Lions in 2016 and 2017, he spent four seasons with KKR. His 4046 runs demonstrate his importance at a strike rate of 129.72 in the IPL and his neatness behind the stumps.

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell
  • Matches: 115
  • Runs: 2495 
  • Wickets: 29
  • Role: All-rounder
  • Batting Style: Right Handed
  • Bowling Style: Spin
  • Nationality: Australian
  • DOB: October 14, 1988
  • IPL Debut: 2012

One of the three players the Royal Challengers Bangalore kept before the IPL 2022 was the all-arounder Glenn Maxwell. It cost INR 11 crores to keep Glenn Maxwell on board. Maxwell amassed 513 runs in 15 games for the league’s 2021 season while maintaining a strike rate of 144.10. Glenn Maxwell is a devastating batter who has dominated the game’s shortest format with his power-hitting and batting prowess. At the IPL auction, Maxwell is one cricketer consistently attracting much attention. 

The Australian can serve as a floater in a line-up because of his excellent fielding skills and ability to contribute with his off-spin. 2014 was among his finest seasons when he and David Miller helped Kings XI Punjab thrash the opposition. Maxwell is currently back with KXIP. The franchise fought tooth and nail for him and finally got his services for a staggering INR 10.75 crore. Before the 2021 season of the league, Punjab Kings (formerly KXIP) released Maxwell, who Royal Challengers Bangalore then purchased in the Player Auction for a staggering INR 14.25 crores.

Mahipal Lomror

 

Mahipal Lomror
  • Matches: 21
  • Runs: 293
  • Wickets: 1
  • Role: All-rounder
  • Batting Style: Left-Handed
  • Bowling Style: Spin
  • Nationality: India
  • DOB: 16 November 1999
  • IPL Debut: 2018

Mahipal Lomror, raised in Rajasthan, became well-known thanks to his contributions to the Indian Under-19 team. The all-around spin bowler had a good season with the bat in the 2021 league, with his 17-ball 43 being the high point. Mahipal was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for INR 95 lakhs at the 2022 Mega Auction. 

When the young man was chosen for Bangladesh will host the 2016 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, he could showcase his abilities on a bigger stage than before when representing his state team in the junior domestic circuit. Before joining the Rajasthan Royals for the IPL’s ninth season, he was purchased by the Delhi Daredevils (now known as the Delhi Capitals). He appeared in just five matches in IPL 2019 and IPL 2020; however, Rajasthan Royals decided to keep him for IPL 2021.

Wanindu Hasaranga

 

Wanindu Hasaranga
  • Matches: 20
  • Runs: 548
  • Wickets: 28
  • Role: Sri Lankan
  • Batting Style: Right Handed
  • Bowling Style: Spin
  • Nationality: All-rounder
  • DOB: July 29, 1997
  • IPL Debut: 2021

Wanindu Hasaranga, a Sri Lankan leg-spinner, signed with Royal Challengers Bangalore for INR 10.75 crore during the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. The youthful player, who hit a hat trick in the just-completed 2021 T20 World Cup, was the target of RCB’s ferocious support. During India’s limited-overs series visit to Sri Lanka in July 2021, the 24-year-old all-rounder made an impression, particularly with the ball. Hasaranga finished that series ranked second among T20I bowlers in the ICC rankings. 

Adam Zampa was replaced in the IPL 2021 by the Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga. From Sri Lanka’s U-19 team, Wanindu was immediately selected for the senior men’s team. Wanindu is a powerful middle-order batsman who is proficient in using his leggings. He made a great start to his international career when, in June 2017, he scored three goals in his first appearance in an ODI. Wanindu will give the team the proper balance amount as she prepares to don the Royal Challengers Bangalore colors again.

Karn Sharma

Karn Sharma
  • Matches: 71
  • Runs: 1716
  • Wickets: 64
  • Role: All-rounder
  • Batting Style: Left Handed
  • Bowling Style: Spin
  • Nationality: India
  • DOB: October 23, 1987
  • IPL Debut: 2013

Although Karn Sharma has played in the IPL frequently, the season has had its ups and downs. Karn Sharma’s base price of INR 50 lakhs was paid at the 2022 Mega Auction. The all-rounder with spin bowling made his IPL debut in 2013 for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he took 11 wickets in his first year. He had a respectable run in 2015 and finished 2014 as the second-highest wicket scorer with 15 wickets. 

He was a member of the champion teams from Hyderabad and Mumbai in 2016 and 2017, respectively. He had 13 wickets for Mumbai Indians in 2017. However, he was afterward put into the auction pool. In need of an Indian leg-spinner, CSK picked him up, but he struggled to earn a regular spot in the side. Karn Sharma is prepared to Play Bold when he donned the Royal Challengers Bangalore jersey in 2022.

In the IPL Mega Auction Mega Auction, the Royal Challengers Bangalore purchased the Indian bowler back for a hefty 10.75 crore. The fast bowler, popularly known as Purple Patel, took 32 wickets during the league’s 2021 season to earn the Purple Cap. Before the Bangalore franchise finally signed him, Harshal witnessed a fierce bidding battle between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the auction. 

Before this, Harshal Patel returned to Royal Challengers Bangalore after being traded from the Delhi Capitals before the IPL 2021. In 2012, the pacer from Haryana played in his first IPL match.

  • Matches: 70
  • Runs: 2091
  • Wickets: 67

Mohammed Siraj, one of Team India’s best fast bowlers, has advanced through the ranks with each victory. His performance with the red and white ball has been the talk of the circuit, and the Royal Challengers Bangalore decided to keep him on for the league’s 2022 season due to his consistency. The Royal Challengers Bangalore kept the pacemaker for INR 7 crores. Siraj, a fast bowler from Hyderabad, gained notoriety in 2017 after Sunrisers Hyderabad purchased his services for INR 2.60 crore. Siraj, an auto-rickshaw driver’s son, has quickly risen to join the national team. 

He only recently began playing leather ball cricket in 2015, and after two years of playing domestic cricket, he was wearing the national uniform of his nation. Mohammed finished as the joint third-highest wicket-taker in the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy season, and Siraj was Hyderabad’s top wicket-taker with 41 wickets from 9 matches. In his first IPL season, in which he grabbed 10 wickets from 6 games, he has made it clear that he has a propensity for getting wickets. After recognizing his considerable potential, the Royal Challengers Bangalore thought tank selected the young player for INR 2.20 crore at the IPL 2018 Player Auction.
