Tom Curran sustained an injury in the recent Big Bash League. As per a few reports, he could be ruled out of IPL 2024. He was a surprise signing by RCB in the recent auctions. They might now be on the lookout for an apt replacement for the all-rounder. Here, we take a look at three players RCB can target as replacement if Tom Curran gets ruled out of IPL 2024.

1) Jamie Overton

If RCB wants a like-to-like replacement, they can invest in someone like Jamie Overton. He was one of the highest wicket-takers in the recent BBL and he also plays for the same franchise which is coached by Andy Flower in the ILT20.

Overton is also brilliant when it comes to hitting in the lower order. Against pacers, he has a strong game and hence, he would be the ideal replacement for Tom Curran.

2) Shamar Joseph (If he had registered for the auctions)

Shamar Joseph is one of the players RCB can target as a replacement if Tom Curran gets ruled out of IPL 2024. It is not sure if Shamar is eligible to play in IPL 2024. If he is, then is sure to garner some attention by the franchise.

He is the talk-of-the-town and has some serious skills in his arsenal. There are not a lot of pacers who can intimidate the batters. Shamar is one of them. Yes, his T20 game is still not proven but as a backup pacer, he would be a good bet.

3) Akeal Hosein

RCB does not have a quality spinner in their ranks. Akeal Hosein is currently the No.2 bowler in ICC’s T20I rankings. He is also a good batter in the lower order.

Andy Flower likes batting depth and hence, Akeal could be a target. If not, someone like Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi could also be interesting options.
