RCB management is looking to sign Smaran Ravichandran as a replacement for Manoj Bhandage, who is in rehab and could miss half of the matches. Due to his injury, the team is considering this move.

Smaran’s performances have been good in all the formats. He scored a double hundred and a hundred in the last two games in the Ranji Trophy 2025 season. In the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he amassed 433 runs in seven innings.

He also made an impact in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024, scoring 170 runs in six matches. His performances show that he has been scoring runs in every tournament.

Smaran has played numerous matches in Bengaluru, which could be beneficial if RCB chooses him as an injury replacement for IPL 2025.
