Uthappa and Morgan criticize RCB's IPL auction strategy for missing key players

Robin Uthappa and Eoin Morgan criticized Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for their limited strategy during the IPL mega auction. RCB made only one significant purchase, acquiring Liam Livingstone for INR 8.75 crore, while missing opportunities to bid on key players like KL Rahul and Mitchell Starc. Uthappa expressed disappointment, noting RCB's failure to utilize their substantial budget effectively. He highlighted the fans' frustration over the team's lack of aggressive bidding for marquee players, despite having the second-largest auction purse. Morgan echoed Uthappa's concerns, questioning RCB's decision-making. He suggested that the franchise could have pursued both high-profile players and other options later in the auction, emphasizing the need for better value assessment in their strategy.
