    'Didn't expect RCB to bid for me because' see post !!!

    The Indian Premier League auction for the 2023 edition took place last month, with all franchises further bolstering their squads with key additions. While Sam Curran broke the record for the most expensive buy in auction – fetching INR 18.5 crore by Punjab Kings – Ben Stokes, Cameron Green, and Nicholas Pooran also fetched big money at the auction. As it was a mini auction, however, not many teams had the luxury of a big purse; one of them being Royal Challengers Bangalore. The RCB came into the auction with INR 8.75 crore, having already retained a majority of its core from the 2022 edition. Bangalore's highest buy at the 2023 auction was England batter Will Jacks, on whom the franchise spent INR 3.2 crore. RCB invested in adding more Indian players to their roster and one of them was Karnataka's 24-year-old all-rounder Manoj Bhandage. Source - Hindustan Times
