Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Head Rajesh V Menon had a hilarious reaction as Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood came up for bidding during the IPL 2024 auction. Hazlewood was one of the top players released by the Bangalore franchise from last season. He had multiple injury troubles during the 2023 season.
