IPL 2024 Auction: 3 Indian Wicket-keeper Whom RCB can target to replace Dinesh Karthik in coming seasons
IPL 2024 Auction: Royal Challengers Bangalore are one of the most followed franchises across the globe. One of the prime reasons is because they have some of the biggest names in the game. But despite all those odds, RCB has not won the championship in the Indian Premier League. Well, they will look to end this trophy drought in the coming season.

But the 38-year-old might play a couple more seasons, and RCB will have to find a replacement for him. The franchise will have a great chance to go for his replacement in the coming IPL 2024 auction itself.
