Karnataka’s Manoj Bhandage. Brute power. Some glimpses of his ball striking. Pace bowling all-rounder. Can clock 128-130s. Although bowling is still a work in progress. But his ball striking ability is something to admire. https://t.co/jddZULYCdf pic.twitter.com/kLpJiAZJHk

Career
Manoj Bhandage, who is a promising cricketer from Raichur, Karnataka, was added to the Royal Challengers Bangalore on the final day of 2025 mega auction. However, this isn’t the first time when Manoj has associated with the RCB.
Previously, he was initially picked by Royal Challengers Bangalore as well during the 2023 auction, however, the player has spent his entire 2023 IPL season on the beach without a single opportunity to play.
Currently, RCB has brought him back for his base price to the team with addressing the lack of Kannadiga players in the roster.

In a total of 12 matches, Manoj secured a total of 292 runs, including an impressive tally of 25 sixes. The right arm medium pacer can persistently bowl in the 125-135 kmph range.
The player had earned a sum of Rs. 20 lakh during IPL 2023 and now he was offered Rs. 30 Lakhs for IPL 2024.
