The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Women side won the title in the 2024 edition but then had a subpar last season where they failed to make it to the playoffs. The WPL 2026 auction is thus a brilliant opportunity for the franchise to overhaul and build a strong squad focused around the core that was retained. Before the auction, RCB retained four players with skipper Smriti Mandhana being the top pick. They kept three Indian players and one overseas star.
RCB entered the auction with a purse value of INR 6.15 crore and 14 slots to fill (five overseas) and one RTM (applicable for overseas). In the marquee set of players, RCB did not buy anyone with their first spend being on Georgia Voll in the batters’ category.
