IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be entering the upcoming season of the cash-rich league with a new head coach, Andy Flower alongside the technical director, Mo Bobat. They will be hoping to end their 16-year-long wait for the elusive trophy. The Bangalore-based franchise was active in the trade window and ended up making the most expensive IPL transfer of all time by roping in Cameron Green from the Mumbai Indians (MI).

The Royal Challengers also made some swaps as they gave away Shahbaz Ahmed and got Mayank Dagar from Sunrisers Hyderabad. Even after doing a lot of exchanges, they have a lot of work to do in the upcoming auction to prepare a strong team.
