Royal Challengers Bengaluru full squad after WPL 2026 mega auction

Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the WPL in 2024.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are coming for the title again with a team packed with superstars. RCB made some smart buys in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 mega auction as they added some big names for relatively lower prices.

The biggest bargain deal for RCB was the explosive South African finisher Nadine de Klerk. She proved to be a match-winner for the Proteas Women in the recently-concluded ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025. RCB spent only 65 lakhs to secure her addition to the squad.

The most expensive buy for the 2024 WPL champions was England’s Lauren Bell for 90 lakhs. She will pair up with the World Cup winner Arundhati Reddy, who has joined the RCB for 75 lakhs. Radha Yadav is another player in the RCB roster who was a part of the Indian World Cup-winning team. For 65 lakhs, RCB confirmed Radha’s presence in the squad.

The Indian all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar is the second most expensive pick for Bengaluru. She has bagged 85 Lakhs in the mega auction. The all-rounder has been out of action due to an injury, but will be available for the WPL 2026 season.

RCB players retained before the auction:

Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh, Ellyse Perry, Shreyanka Patil
