Former India Pacer Dodda Ganesh Slams RCB's IPL 2024 Auction Moves

RCB is facing severe criticism after its performance in the IPL 2024 auction. Despite high expectations, RCB failed to secure key players, drawing ire from fans and former cricketers. Dodda Ganesh, ex-India pacer, particularly lambasted the franchise, accusing them of making "elementary mistakes" and suggesting that fans could assemble a more balanced team with half the money.

RCB's unsuccessful pursuit of players like Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins has been a major point of contention. The franchise's decision to release players like Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, and Wanindu Hasaranga before the auction raised eyebrows.

Dodda Ganesh took to social media to express his disappointment, asserting that RCB fans could do a better job with half the budget. He criticized the team's strategy and questioned the logic behind spending Rs. 5 crore on left-arm pacer Yash Dayal.

Ganesh labeled RCB's selection of Yash Dayal as "ridiculous," emphasizing that despite a bad over, Dayal is a competent bowler.

RCB's auction moves have left them with a bowling lineup comprising Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Alzarri Joseph, Akash Deep, Mayank Dagar, Karn Sharma, and Vyshak Vijay Kumar.
