2024 Royal Challengers Bangalore team players to watch out for in IPL:

Here are a few players who are eyeing to perform for RCB and help the team win their maiden IPL trophy.

Cameron Green:

The young Australian All-rounder was traded from Mumbai Indians for INR 17.5 crores. He was exceptional for the Mumbai Indians last season where he smashed a century and picked many wickets. So, it will be interesting to see how he will perform in a new franchise and every RCB fan will have high hopes and expectations for a young tall all-rounder to score big and pick a number of wickets for RCB to perform well.

Rajat Patidar:

Patidar missed the IPL 2023 season due to injury and will be back for action this year. His performance will be very important for the Royal Challengers Bangalore Squad 2024 and he himself will try to make the most of the opportunity to play this IPL. 

Lockie Ferguson:

The right-arm fast bowler was picked up in the IPL auction 2024 by RCB management to strengthen the bowling unit that seems quite average. Therefore, there lies a great responsibility on his shoulders to do well in the IPL and contribute to the team's success with his exceptional pace and wicket-taking ability.

In the absence of Josh Hazelwood, the RCB bowling coach will want him to deliver in tense situations, especially in the death overs. As the team plays on a smaller ground, an economical bowler is an ideal choice for any team and Lockie Ferguson has to step up and perform for his team.

Reece Topley:

The left-arm pacer from England got injured in the second match of RCB in the IPL 2023 and missed out on the remaining tournament. That was a big blow for the team as he was a prime bowler who used to get wickets early in the innings.

However, he is back for the 2024 Royal Challengers Bangalore team in IPL 2024 and now the bowling unit looks somehow sorted out Topley’s bowling in the powerplay can be crucial for RCB throughout the tournament.
