Hazelwood’s price tag made him the most expensive Australian during the auction's first day, and his experience with RCB makes him a valuable asset for the Bangalore-based franchise. 

Regarding other names that made it to the headlines, RCB brought Phil Salt (₹ 11.50 crore), Krunal Pandya (₹ 5.75 crore), and Tim David (₹ 3 crore) into their squad. These hard-hitting batters will ensure that RCB’s middle-order woes are solved.

Another veteran fast bowler who has been picked up by RCB is Bhuvneshwar Kumar for ₹ 10.75 crores. His experience will strengthen the bowling attack which has been notorious for leaking runs during the crucial stages of the game.
