After a reticent start to the 2023 auction, RCB soon hunkered down to business, roping in the fine likes of Reece Topley and Will Jacks amongst the illustrious monikers while also introducing a flurry of youngsters, a few of whom have already tasted domestic cricket while the others are blessed with raw potential, waiting to be nurtured.

As we talk about these youngsters raring to take flight against a world full of challenges, this is a quick introduction to all these incredible lads who are going to don the RCB jersey for the first time.

Avinash Singh:

A classic rag to riches story, a fast bowler who can clock 145 kays regularly and is touted to have a lethal yorker up his sleeves, Avinash Singh is a phenomenon waiting to be unleashed. Even though he has not been tested previously in the bigger circuit, yet cracking through the Hinterland scouting of Malolan Rangarajan needs a lot more than being just fine and when the youngster has made it through the keen eyes of Malo, expect him to be a fire-breathing speedster in the making.

Rajan Kumar:

Hailing all the way from Haridwar, Rajan Kumar showcased his flair for delivering in the big games as he finished with impressive figures in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy. Leaving Odisha blazed away with his spell of 3 for 24, Kumar started grabbing the eyeballs for all the right reasons. 

Sonu Yadav:

A man proving his mettle in the grander stages with some neat line and length and his penchant for claiming big fishes when his team needed him to, Sonu Yadav is a sensation in the making. Clocking a good 140 clicks, Yadav can bring the heat on in the death overs, considering the discipline that has always been his strength.

Manoj Bhandage:

A home-grown talent bursting forth to life right in the heart of Karnataka, Manoj Bhandage can smash the ball by a fair mile and also chime in with a handful of crucial overs in the middle. He is known for his tempestuous batting and his flair of swinging his arms freely under the pump against notable monikers of the game.

Himanshu Sharma: 

Another talent discovered through Hinterland scouting, Himanshu Sharma brings some raw heat to the side given his ability to slog when his team needs him to while also rolling his arms in crucial situations with an eye for scalps in the middle-overs that can be a boon to any given T20 team.
