Lauren Bell Sold to RCB for ₹90 Lakh in WPL Auction
England's rising pace bowler Lauren Bell has officially been signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore for ₹90 lakh at the WPL auction. Known for her height, bounce and natural swing, Bell was one of the most sought-after overseas pacers heading into the auction. RCB moved quickly to secure her, recognising the value she adds in powerplay and middle-overs bowling.
Bell's international experience, ability to trouble top-order batters and her recent form in T20 leagues made her a strong pick for franchises looking to boost their pace unit. RCB fans celebrated the signing online, calling her addition a smart move for balancing the squad.
With Lauren Bell now in their lineup, RCB strengthens a department that needed depth and variety. As the new WPL season approaches, all eyes will be on how Bell adapts to Indian conditions and contributes to RCB's campaign.
