Anticipating the unpredictability of auctions, Luke Williams mentioned, “I think there’d be countless, but we’ve probably got down to four or five different main possibilities of how we think it will work out. But again, auctions can be unpredictable, so we continue to throw left-field ideas that might happen, but we’re really, really comfortable with our plans and looking forward to the auction.”
With seven slots to fill and a purse of ₹3.35 crore, RCB aims to bolster its squad with a mix of local and overseas talent. Williams emphasized the strength of the existing squad, saying, “With five players in the Indian side from RCB the other night, it’s a really good nucleus of Indian players. We’ve got some really exciting overseas talent and are looking to add to our squad at the auction with both overseas and local talent. So I think we have a really strong squad looking forward to the season ahead,” as he readies for his first auction.
