RCB Full Squad, IPL 2026: Venkatesh Iyer will play for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2026 after he was bought by the defending champions for Rs 7 crore during the mini-auction in Abu Dhabi. LSG and Gujarat Titans made the initial few bids for Venkatesh, before RCB and KKR joined the race. RCB eventually landed the deal as KKR pulled out after bidding 6.80 crore. Venkatesh will join hands with Madhya Pradesh teammate and RCB captain Rajat Patidar. RCB lifted their first-ever IPL title earlier this year, beating the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. RCB retained their biggest pillars, including franchise icon Virat Kohli and dependable middle-order contributor Rajat Patidar, while also strengthening depth across bowling, and all-round options.
