5. Ankit Bawne
Ankit Bawne, Maharashtra’s middle-order batsman, has been in the spotlight for the past decade or so but has yet to break free to play at the highest level. His only IPL appearance came for the Delhi Capitals (then Daredevils) during the 2017 season, and he didn’t make the most of it. With a wealth of expertise under his belt, the RCB will not be disappointed if they go ahead with this selection. Bawne is renowned for his solid knocks and good technique, which can be used effectively in most situations.
Despite an impressive win against the Mumbai Indians in their first game of the season, RCB must now prepare for their upcoming match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) without their important player. While the Bangalore-based franchise has yet to name a replacement for Patidar, team management and coaches have chosen not to make a hasty choice. RCB issued a statement in which they expressed their disappointment over Patidar’s absence and wished him a quick recovery. The 24-year-old batsman, who scored 281 runs in IPL 2022, was anticipated to be pivotal in RCB’s season this year.
