Royal Challengers Bangalore is criticized for its weak bowling lineup in every season of IPL. It is always said that RCB spends money only on batting and does not pay attention to bowling, but it has proved this wrong in the IPL 2025 auction. RCB has spent a lot of money on bowlers for the next season and that is why the bowling attack of this team looks very strong. Till the time of writing the news, RCB had bought the best bowlers worth Rs 46.35 crore in the auction held in Jeddah. Let’s take a look at the bowling attack of RCB.
RCB’s best bowling attack
To strengthen its bowling attack, RCB placed its biggest bet on Josh Hazlewood. This right-arm fast bowler has been bought for Rs 12.50 crore. Hazlewood can prove to be the leader of the bowling attack of this team. Apart from this, RCB has included another big bowler in its team.
This player is none other than Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was bought by RCB for Rs 10.75 crore. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has experience of 176 matches in IPL, he has taken 181 wickets. His economy rate is 7.56 runs per over. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hazlewood can prove to be trump cards for RCB in powerplay and death overs. Apart from this, RCB has bet on fast bowler Rasik Salam who tricks the batsmen with his slower balls. RCB has given Rs 6 crore to Rasik Salam. This player also has the ability to bowl in the death overs.
