RCB focused on all-rounder depth and pace backups to build a flexible and settled core. RCB's spend of 16.15 crore in the auction helped them assemble a full squad of 25 players, with all eight overseas slots filled, as the plan revolved around having multi-skill players to cover for Josh Hazlewood and the Indian pace unit. Jacob Duffy was an intelligent buy, with Kanishk Chouhan being their final pick in the auction. The Indian Under-19 off-spin all-rounder represents a lower-risk investment to deepen spin resources and batting depth. Jordan Cox, bought for 75 lakh, was another interesting addition who could prove to be a solid batting option for RCB in case of any unexpected injuries. Meanwhile, marquee signings consist of names like Venkatesh Iyer, who was roped in for a mammoth 7 crore, while almost the entire core was retained by RCB ahead of the auction. With a few gaps yet a strong top order and versatile all-rounder options, RCB is set for the ultimate showdown in the IPL 2026 tournament. RCB Squad For IPL 2026 Rajat Patidar(C), Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Jitesh Sharma, Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya, Tim David, Swapnil Singh, Romario Shepherd, Jacob Bethell, Venkatesh Iyer, Satvik Deswal, Mangesh Yadav, Vicky Ostwal, Vihaan Malhotra, Kanishk Chouhan, Jordan Cox, Rasikh Dar, Suyash Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Nuwan Tushara, Abhinandan Singh, Jacob Duffy, Yash DayalAlso Read- Full IPL 2026 Schedule Confirmed; BCCI Holds Playoffs Dates And Venues
