Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Retain Virat Kohli, Releases Mohammed Siraj

Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have made bold retention decisions ahead of the 2025 mega auction, retaining only a few key players while releasing the majority of their squad to rebuild for the future.

Retained Players:

  1. Virat Kohli – Batter, ₹21 Crore
  2. Rajat Patidar – Batter, ₹11 Crore
  3. Yash Dayal – Bowler, ₹5 Crore

Released Players:

RCB has parted ways with several prominent players, including:

  • Faf du Plessis (Captain/Batter)
  • Glenn Maxwell (All-Rounder)
  • Mohammed Siraj (Bowler)
  • Dinesh Karthik (Keeper-Batter)
  • Reece Topley (Bowler)
  • Cameron Green (All-Rounder)
  • Alzarri Joseph (Bowler)
  • Lockie Ferguson (Bowler)
  • Others: Anuj Rawat, Suyash Prabhudessai, Karn Sharma, and several all-rounders.

Key Decisions:

  • RCB retained Kohli, focusing on building around him for the future.
  • Faf du Plessis, despite his strong performances, was released due to age and high retention costs, but RCB might aim to re-sign him at a lower price during the auction.

RCB’s overhaul reflects their drive for a fresh start as they aim to end their title drought in IPL 2025.
