Royal Challengers Bangalore has brought in three new players for the second leg of the IPL 2021. Sri Lankans Wanindu Hasaranga and Dishmantha Chameera, and Australian Tim David, have joined the Bangalore T20 team.

 These players have replaced Adam Zampa and Daniel Sams from Australia, and Fin Allen from New Zealand. RCB’s director of cricketing operations, Mike Hesson, who is presently filling in as head coach after Simon Katich stepped down, said to the press:

"Finn Allen and Scott Kuggeleijn have been selected for New Zealand tours, and they won't be part of RCB. Kane Richardson has made himself unavailable, as has Daniel Sams, so the balance of our squad has changed dramatically. So we have obviously gone about making purchases during the replacement window, which opened up about four or five days ago. A lot of preparation has gone into that."
