Alzaari Joseph is RCB's most expensive purchase

RCB has Rs 2.85 crore in their purse

RCB released 11 players and procured 7 players in the process

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) made six purchases at the auction. These included West Indian fast bowler Alzaari Joseph for Rs 11.50 crore, New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson for Rs 2 crore, England all-rounder Tom Curran for Rs 1.5 crore, Yash Dayal, the left arm fast medium bowler from Uttar Pradesh for Rs 5 crore, the slow left-arm orthodox bowling all-rounder from Baroda Swapnil Singh for Rs 20 lakh and the Gujarat left hand batsman Saurav Chauhan for Rs 20 lakh. RCB has a purse of Rs 2.85 crore at their disposal after yesterday’s auction. 

RCB had earlier procured Australian all rounder Cameron Green from the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the all  rounder from Himachal Pradesh Mayank Dagar from the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). 

The released players from RCB ahead of the auctions included Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, David Willey, Wayne Parnell, Sonu Yadav, Avinash Singh, Siddharth Kaul and Kedar Jadhav.

Has RCB got the better end of the deal after the auction? Only time and the performances will tell. Some of the fans were disappointed at the willingness of RCB to bid for Pat Cummins for up to Rs 20.25 crore with only Rs 23.25 crore in their purse.
