The management of the team made the decision to keep most of the players from their IPL 2022 roster because they did well in that season.
Major players like Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Glenn Maxwell, and Shahbaz Ahmed were kept on by Royal Challengers Bangalore. They also released a few players, and their 8.75 crore auction budget was used to replace those voids.
