In Mohammad Siraj and Harshal Patel, RCB had two good Indian seam bowling options. Shabaz Ahmed was the rising star for Bangalore last season emerging as a good all-round option. The 2016 finalists also needed a few good Indian all-rounders. With just two overseas slots available, they needed an attacking overseas batsman and all-rounders as backups for Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell as well.
A total of 991 players, including 714 Indians and 277 overseas, registered for the IPL 2023 mini-auction. Meanwhile, the BCCI trimmed down the final list of players from 991 to 405. 369 players were initially shortlisted by 10 teams, but later 36 additional players were requested and they were added to the final list.
Among the 405 cricketers, 273 were Indians and 132 were overseas players of which 4 players are from associate nations. Also, a total of 119 capped players, 282 uncapped players, and 4 associate nations entered the IPL 2023 mini-auction.
