According to Reports, Royal Challengers Bengaluru is interested in Karnataka’s young batter Smaran Ravichandran as a replacement for injured Manoj Bhandage in IPL 2025.
Smaran has been on a roll, making news with his stunning performance in the DY Patil T20 Tournament.
Playing for Canara Bank, the left-handed batter has scored 190 runs in three games at a strike rate of 186.27. His bold batting has been the main highlight, as he has hit 13 fours and sixes apiece while scoring three consecutive fifties.
RCB fans are keen on Smaran joining the team, with most of them believing that he is capable of fixing major problems for the team. His aggressive nature is ideal for the IPL setup, and his quick-scoring ability makes him a prime candidate for inclusion in the team. If he signs, he could give the team much-needed power in the middle order.

Smaran is one for the future. Watch out for this lad. He can be a good replacement player for any IPL team currently. He went to RCB trails earlier, which can be a good option in middle overs. https://t.co/DzSIAFgmm2
