The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 edition is only a month away. The rich-cash league auction took place in Dubai last year. All ten teams have added players to their squads in accordance with the requirements. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been one of the tournament’s unluckiest sides, having won no trophies since the league’s debut in 2008. They qualified for three finals and failed each time.
Throughout the tournament, Bengaluru fans go to the stadium to cheer on their preferred side. RCB has long been a haven for batters, with a strong emphasis on batting. However, in recent years, their bowling performance has also improved. English pacer Reece Topley, who was taken out of the event midway through last season after dislocating his shoulder, will miss the 2024 season due to a niggle.
The England Cricket Board (ECB) has denied down Topley’s No Objection Certificate (NOC) because the national team wants to take cautious measures with the speedster. The left-arm seamer will also miss the Pakistan Super League. Despite the fact that he was retained by RCB, the loss is a significant blow to the team.
Chris Jordan replaces Topley
Rev Sportz claims that the 29-year-old cricketer has been replaced by his national teammate Chris Jordan. The latter has been in outstanding form in franchise league cricket around the world. However, the latter’s performance in the IPL has been a source of concern, since he has failed to meet expectations in the world’s richest league. RCB made smart auction purchases to improve team balance.
The squad’s bowling assault now includes Lockie Ferguson, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, and English all-rounder Tom Curran. The Bangalore-based franchise will strive to win the league in the upcoming season and avoid disappointing their fan base.
