ToggleRoyal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer Mohammed Siraj has sparked speculation among fans with a cryptic story on his official Instagram handle. Mohammed Siraj shared the cryptic post after the completion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction.
The Bangalore franchise failed to build a good squad for the upcoming season with their acquisitions. The RCB invested the majority of its purse on the pacers after releasing Josh Hazlewood and Harshal Patel. The franchise’s batting looks strong, as it always does.
The Faf du Plessis-led team made a substantial investment of Rs 11.50 crore in West Indies bowler Alzarri Joseph. The Bangalore team overlooked young fast bowlers Gerald Coetzee and Dilshan Madushanka, who were acquired by MI for considerably lower amounts.

The 29-year-old was retained by the franchise for Rs 7 crore ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. He has been an integral part of the team since joining the RCB franchise in 2018. He has picked up 68 wickets for the team at an economy rate of 8.48 in the tournament’s history.

RCB also secured left-arm pacer Yash Dayal for Rs 5 crore. Tom Curran was also acquired for his base price of Rs 1.50 crore in the accelerated round. The team added Lockie Ferguson to their squad for his base price of Rs 2 crore in the second round of the accelerated stage.
RCB traded for Cameron Green from the Mumbai Indians for Rs 17.5 crore ahead of the auction. They acquired six players for Rs 20.40 crore in the auction. However, they failed to secure a quality spinner, with Karn Sharma and Mayank Dagar being the only available options.
