RCB has definitely improved itself in the last two seasons. They were able to reach the playoffs in and were also in good form last year. Bangalore has yet to touch the trophy of Indian Premier League. The IPL 2025 Auction will be an opportunity for Royal Challengers Bangalore to start a completely new campaign and journey. It will be an opportunity for them to build their squad from scratch keeping in mind the future also. In this article we will take a look at IPL 2025 : RCB target players at auction.
RCB decided to retain Virat Kohli (Rs 15 crore), Glenn Maxwell (Rs 11crore), Mohammed Siraj (Rs 7 crore) in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. They did not use their fourth retention. It was quite surprising because the franchise left out the likes of Chahal. The 2025 auction will be even more important for RCB as they might be looking for a new skipper.
Let’s take a look at five players whom RCB can target in IPL 2025 Auction.
Ravi Bishnoi
In 2022 mega auction, the omission of Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal from the retention list was very shocking. The reason is not clear as to why this happened. Since then no other spinner was able to make a mark in RCB’s playing 11. The team desperately needs a good leg spinner. Considering the future aspects, Ravi Bishnoi is the perfect player to get in the shoes of Chahal.
Rishabh Pant
There are high chances that RCB will not retain Faf Du Plessis due to his age factor. Therefore, the team needs a new skipper who can lead the team for many years. Pant is the best option for this spot. The young keeper has experience in leading the team as well.
David Miller
David Miller was once a top player in IPL but he slowly lost his charm. RCB might try to go after Miller as a replacement for AB De Villiers. The playing style of Miller is also very explosive just like ABD. David Miller is a realistic target for RCB in the IPL 2025 auctions. Miller can secure his position in the middle-order and provide the much needed left-handed power-hitting option for the unit.
