IPL 2020: 3 players Royal Challengers Bangalore should target at the auction

#2 Robin Uthappa

One particular area about RCB that has been criticized a lot is their lack of domestic Karnataka players in the squad. It is somewhat surprising that RCB have not picked more local players given Karnataka's exceptional domestic record in the last decade or so.

Moreover, they let go one of the best Karnataka players they had in KL Rahul.

Now, RCB have the option of picking one of Karnataka's stalwarts this auction. Robin Uthappa has been released by KKR this season after a fruitful association with the franchise which saw the stylish right-hander win the Orange Cap in IPL 2014 and two IPL titles.

Although Uthappa is past his prime, he will bring title-winning experience with him. And he will certainly be considered an upgrade to Parthiv Patel in terms of batting prowess.
