Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the defending champions, approach the IPL 2026 auction with a well-structured team. Instead of major changes, the management aims to refine their successful setup. Retaining 17 players showcases the confidence in their title-winning core.
With Rs 16.40 crore available and eight slots to fill, including two overseas positions, RCB is expected to prioritise tactical needs over big-name acquisitions at the auction in Abu Dhabi.
Ahead of the mini-auction, names of players like Matheesha Pathirana and Venkatesh Iyer made rounds, who could be major targets for RCB in the IPL 2026 Auction. Stay tuned to this space for all the live and latest updates.
Auction Buys (New Additions)
Venkatesh Iyer, Mangesh Yadav, Jacob Duffy, Satvik Deswal, Jordan Cox.
Retained Core Squad
Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Devdutt Padikkal, Phil Salt, Jitesh Sharma, Krunal Pandya, Swapnil Singh, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Jacob Bethell, Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Nuwan Thushara, Rasikh Dar, Abhinandan Singh, Suyash Sharma.
Released Players
Liam Livingstone, Lungi Ngidi, Mayank Agarwal, Manoj Bhandage, Swastik Chikara, Mohit Rathee, Tim Seifert.
RCB initiates the bidding for Mangesh Yadav, and Sunrisers Hyderabad enters the fray as a bidding war kicks off. He has struck gold and becomes part of RCB for INR 5.2 crore
RCB has acquired Venkatesh Iyer! KKR has withdrawn from the bidding, allowing the defending champions to secure him for Rs 7 crore. It's worth noting that these two franchises engaged in a fierce bidding battle for Venkatesh last year, resulting in KKR winning him for Rs 23.75 crore.
Matheesha Pathirana, a highly sought-after death-overs bowler, could significantly boost RCB's bowling. Known for his speed and ability to perform under pressure, Pathirana could create a strong pace duo with Josh Hazlewood. His skills in the final overs would be crucial, especially in high-pressure games, potentially giving RCB an advantage.
