2 Australian cricketers RCB bid for in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions but could not sign

Australia is one of the major contributors to the overseas contingent in the IPL. RCB has had some great Australian cricketers in the past. In the current squad, as well, they have some good Australian names. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of 2 Australian cricketers RCB targeted in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions but could not sign.

1) Mitchell Starc

RCB wanted a leader of the pace attack who could surely pick wickets in the powerplay. Hence, they were ready to spend big for Starc. However, they did not have the required budget to seal the deal.

Delhi Capitals were equally interested in his services. RCB already had Yash Dayal and it did not make sense to spend too much on the cricketer.

2) Marcus Stoinis is one of the Australian cricketers wanted by RCB for IPL 2025

Stoinis is one of the Australian cricketers RCB targeted in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions but could not sign. RCB made multiple bids for the big-hitter at the recent auctions. However, they could not secure the player.

Stoinis would have added raw power in the lower middle order of the side. He would have also been a fine all-rounder to add balance to the setup. Later, RCB hired Liam Livingstone and Tim David.
